That is not quite correct.

Please see MOS *249212.1 to determine if you can live with their VMWare support policy.*

Those that were vmware related were obviously vmware problems. eg. clock not keeping time on linux.

The databases I use in our lab for testing are all VMWare on linux and windows.
We even have an entire eBusiness suite system running on a small server under VMWare.
The only issue there has been keeping the clock synced. That's a VMWare tools issue.
