You are right, and the idea is that the person have full interaction
with the application environment including the underlying LAMP/WAMP
stack that has been packaged. Users that want to quickly run and
test-drive the appliance may not really need a full VM type application.
Just something that could quickly run the image (appliance).

Why on earth would we want to make a crippled version of qemu?
AFAIK "Creating" a VMware virtual machine is just making a config file.
qemu doesn't have config files, so your question makes no sense.
Well, I was not thinking or suggesting of a crippled qemu version. I
asked the question because there are some software
appliances which are pre-built and pre-configured apps that are built on
a LAMP stack and packaged as a single image
type file. This image file can be downloaded and run on a product
similar to VMware Player. This is used for quick demo
purposes of an application with out the need to have a full virtual
machine.
My impression was that these "appliances" are full virtual machines. It's just
an OS install that's been stripped down and configured to run a single
application on startup.
