I was able to successfully take my qemu installation of Windows XP, convert it with qemu-img to a vmdk file, and then boot it up in VMWare player (and yes, I own the full version of VMWare as well on another machine, so I'm not worried about the legality if there are any concerns). I was also able to create a vmdk image from scratch using qemu-img and install OpenBSD in it. As I've only owned the full version for about two weeks, I haven't researched what VMWare tools adds to the picture, but I know resolution hasn't been a problem with VMWare Player, at least on the XP image. Performance does seem a bit better than qemu, but I done anything to quantify this. I'm running on the latest version of Ubuntu.
