Converting a Virtualbox virtual machine to VMWare

This covers converting from VirtualBox to VMWare not the other way around.
I’ve search the net and all the instructions seemed to be long winded using third party products as a middle step. Things have moved on this might be easy now.

With VirtualBox 2.2.2 you can export your machine as an Appliance using the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). The VMWare vCenter Converter 4.0.1 (free download) imports OVF Appliances.

Sounds too good to be true?

I am just exporting my VM from VirtualBox at the moment to see if it works “like it says on the tin”
