I'm sorry, Rodney, that  information appears to be confidential. I
won't be able to let you read about this without getting the email
list to sign an non-disclosure agreement <eg>

If you are copying a disk image that has custom drivers installed, and
restoring it to a VM that has different (virtual) hardware installed,
you could run into issues. I have not. It might be wise to replace
drivers that you expect will not be available in the VM (such as a
custom video driver) with generic drivers (like SVGA) before making
the switch. Smarter OSes should be able to detect that the hardware
has changed and accomodate the change gracefully. Clumsy OSes may not
work as well. And DRM-encumbered OSes may start screaming "Help! I've
been stolen!!!" (morons!).
