    I still haven't gotten to the point where I don't install anything in the base layer operating system, but I hope to get there at some point.

    I mainly don't install stuff to the host machine now on my desktop - on my notebook I do because it is a bit of a hassle always having to fire up VM's for things. The real benefit is when you upgrade - just copy over the VM's and away you go (actually I also use removable hard disk caddies so no copy either).

    Even better. I'm not a fan of the time it takes to get a new workstation working just right. SO much easier to just fire it up and go.
