I would think VMs would the the last place we really care about for real
Haiku usage. It's only convenient at the moment for testing/development, but
I don't know a lot of people chomping at the bit to run Haiku in a VM rather
than real physical hardware. First and foremost, we need a format that can
be booted on almost all cd-bootable hardware out there (ISO-9660+El-Torito
comes to mind), and secondly, it should be easy to burn using nearly any cd
burning software a user might be using (again, ISO+El-Torito comes to mind).
In the end, it seems there's really only one real logical choice...
