2. When importing into VMware it shows an HDD file to be created as 120 GB (the VHD file is just 6.7 GB).. This is like WTF since there is no way to convert the HDD to VMware disk but you have to import the entire machine which shows such stupid figures.. (I know there is an option to change the disk size but that's not the case here for anyone who has imported a Virtual PC to VMware knows not to do that !)

CRAP DOES NO ONE USE VMWARE / VIRTUAL PC .. Doesn't anyone want to test Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

Going off for some warcraft .. :D

Try this. The program was updated yesterday will major improvements. Usually comes with Guest OS additions as well. On the linux side, has no problem converting\importing vmware or real partitions.
