As Virtual Box is now my preferred solution, I've been wondering about running VMWare images myself but never got around to trying it. A little reading of the official change log (http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#ChangeLog) seems to indicate that native vmdk image support was added in Version 2.1.0 though bug fixes for this feature are mentioned in later versions including 2.1.2, 2.2.0, 2.2.4, 3.0.0 and 3.0.4 Hello,

Thanks for commenting that! I took a look, I could not find anything definite, but I think the newer release of VirtualBox (May, 2009 - 2.2.4) supports .vmdk images? (But, I use an older version of VirtualBox). @Alexei – That would be great! Thanks for commenting that!
