vLite works perfect with Windows 7 and is certainly the solution for you.

I have a Windows 7 VM (fresh vLited installation) using less than 3GB - plenty of space for Office etc on a 10GB VHD.

Start with removing drivers and languages; that alone helps a great deal.

On my Eee 701 (4 GB SSD) I was testing an even more radical rip, resulting in 1.5GB used disk space (no virtual memory).
