So "used to" is not what I would describe > myself as, more vaguely familiar. > Fair enough - if you're planning to do more than a couple of P2V conversions in your future though, you'll probably want to do yourself a favour by checking out that tool (and there are many others like it - it's rapidly becoming a crowded market space with the rise of OpenStack, Eucalyptus, and other virtual frameworks). Don't worry about the MSCE, that's a red herring. VMWare P2V tool is specifically aimed at Windows and Linux - it's not just crappy old Microsoft boxes that need virtualising, there's more than enough crappy old Linux boxes out there as well.
