Desktop VM Optimization

Running Windows7,8, or 10 as a VM whether it be VDI or just a VM the OS is bloated and wasteful.  VMware has a fling that helps this, (VMware flings are items created by VMware but are not fully supported).  TheVMware OS Optimization tool analyses a VM and compares it to a list of best practices for optimizing resources.

Helpful hint; copy the file to the local machine and run it from there.  After running it, an XML file will be present, so any changes can be undone...IE one disabled something that turns out that one needed.
