I have a virtual machine in Virtualbox 4.2.4 that runs Ubuntu 12.04 on a 20Gb .vmdk harddrive.

I've done a whole load of installing programs, updates, configuring, ... on the virtual machine and now I would just like to take an 'image' of the virtual machine and all the installed programs, files,... and load it into VMWare Workstation 9. (so I don't have to re-configure, re-install,... everything)

First of all: is this possible?
And secondly: how would I go about doing this?

In short, this should 'just work' since the VM is already in the right format. It might be a good idea to remove the Virtualbox guest additions before you move it to VMWare, but probably you can also do this after the move.

If you need to convert the image file in some way, then check out the Virtualbox documentation. I've found the VBoxManage command line tool to be really powerful in the past.
