Description

I think I should include the VMware Tools installer in the Virtual Machine Core package. I have to always install VMware Tools manually and having it automatically installed during/before OOBE would be nice.

Drawbacks

The only main issue is that VMware Tools is only for VMware virtual machines. That means the Virtual Machine Core package would become less universal and only work in VMware Products without modification. The package size will also increase by ~70MB as well.

It's honestly not that hard to manually install, and I couldn't quite figure out how to get VMware Tools to install silently. I think I'm going to move this to long term plans and close for now.
