In what way exactly?

From the original support note (rather than download link) referred to.

Support Status for VMware Virtualized Environments

---

Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized environments. Oracle Support will provide support for Oracle products when running on VMware in the following manner: Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running on VMware.

supported, not certified. Not "not supported" Unless I'm reading a note another way again and "Oracle will provide support ... in the following manner" means in fact "Oracle won't support you."
