I think I am beginning to understand ..

A Live CD requires no other software.  No operating system other 
than the one on the CD.  Hence anyone can run it, but with a 
reboot.

I have not tried it, but can't you run a Live CD under VMware, 
Xen, Qemu, etc ...   all of them, with the same Live CD?

As to the value of making the VM image ..  I guess if it is a 
step toward moving away from PSpice, etc ...  It's good.  It 
saddens me to realize we need to resort to a non-free product 
to accomplish that.
