Once a selection is made between Linux and Windows VMs (not shown, to spare you the boredom), the next step is to select the source operating system that will run there. A list appears showing virtual CDs of the corresponding type that have been created in advance. These might include one or more of a company's "gold" images containing operating-system policies and applications pre-installed.

Notice the "Create CD" button at the bottom of the page. This allows admins to create a required image "on the fly." This prevents the need to back out of the VM creation process to make the image, then repeat creation process all over again. Images can be exported as OVA files and used to kick off other projects. Context-sensitive help is available at all stages.
