Okay I thought I would give it a try. I used a howto from:
http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/converting-vmware-images-to-virtualbox-a-simple-method/

It is never quite that simple, below is my dir for my apache2 web
appliance. As you can see there is multiple .vmdk files. The one that
works is the flat file. apache2-flat.vmdk > apache2.bin > apache2.vdi

I think the flat file is a result of my allocating all disk space
instead of selecting the 'grow' option during the build.
 
Next I will try my W2K install :-)
