Now that VMware has made their VMware Player available for free, everyone can soon enjoy the advantages and frustrations of "living in Images..." :)
How does this work, Darius? The VMware site says you can run any virtual machine. Then, it immediately says "Run virtual machines created by VMware Workstation, GSX Server or ESX Server" So, obviously not any virtual machine. I would imagine that another layer would have to be created or a current VM would have to be re-configured so that it can call VMware Player to operate.

Ok, See, you need VMware Workstation to create the images first.
