Read here and there, no difinitave answer found.
I've spent time generating multiple (XP, 98, 2000, Vista RC1, etc) VMWare images on my PC, and also have become a newly converted Mac nut, so on my MacBok, I'd like to import (if possible) my VMWare images into Parallels Desktop for the MAC.

Some have said to image with Acronis or Ghost in the VM on the PC, and if so (and if that is the ONLY way), what/how is the procedure to import them into the Mac on the Paralles side?

Hoping for a solution.

PS...
Also, is there a way to export the Paralles VM to VMWare, if wanted?

I don't think Parallels offers any conversion software, so the Ghost imaging method seems to be the best solution.

VMWare has announced a port to OSX and as far as I know it should be free just like the player and server products for Win/Lin, so you may want to just wait for that to be released.
