Description

Hi,

VMware has unpublished their VDDK and only permits TAP partners and approved partners to download the VDDK.

The README.md probably should be updated to reflect these changes, as it may affect availability for people without access. I haven't found any external official documentation about these changes, but our technical contacts as well as their global support organisation confirm that this is the case.

Research direction

Open README.md and find the VDDK download or setup instructions. Update the relevant text to explain that VMware no longer publishes the VDDK publicly and that access may require TAP or approved-partner status. Done means the README accurately sets expectations for users without VDDK access.
