When we migrated from ESXi to OpenStack + KVM I had to convert all our Windows images, mostly by using Redhat's virt-v2v and then a couple manual steps. See this blog post for what I did: http://serverascode.com/2012/11/26/converting-vmware-windows-to-openstack.html I would love to find out that there is an easier or better way, or one that would allow a single image to run in vmware and KVM...I just couldn't find a way to do it.
