Hi folks,
I have been out for 3 weeks in Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle and since I came back I spent all my time with family and with loads of work, which means no much time for blogging stuff.
As a start I would like to talk about some useful tools for those who deal frequently with Virtualization environments. I am certain that some of you have been on a situation where you wanted to use a VMWare Virtual Hard disk on Microsoft Virtual Server of Microsoft Virtual PC and you were unable to do it.
There are a few free tools that you can download to help you out with Virtual Hard Disk format conversion.
