Adding Programs to Boot Camp VM

Hello,
I am about to get a new MBP 2.3GHz, i7, 8GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm drive, with Win7 Pro Ultimate. I have been using a MBP with Boot Camp only but I am now tired of the boot/reboot exercise and will take the plunge with P6.

After some research, I have decided the best option for me will be to do a Boot Camp Virtual Machine. (I may need the ability to boot only in Win7.)

My plan is to get the Win7 side all set up in Boot Camp. Then I will install P6 and set up my VM and be delighted.

Presuming my plan above is sound, what is the proper procedure for adding new Windows programs after the Boot Camp VM machine is set up? Should I boot up only in Win7, add the new programs, then reboot in Mac an launch the VM? Or should I add the new programs while booted up in VM mode. (I don't even know if this is possible.)

Thank you very much for any advice.
Regards,
PL
