VMware, Inc. has announced its virtual machine disk format specification. "This will enable use by all developers, software vendors and projects and includes open licensing compatible with those operating under open source licenses such as the GPL. In addition, VMware is committed to supporting any other open virtual machine disk formats broadly adopted by customers and working toward converging on open standards in this area. "Encouraging the use of a common virtual machine disk format should lead to better interoperability across the industry."
