Oh I guess that could get nasty ... you are "will be soon perhaps" supported in a virtualized environment if it is our software providing the virtualization otherwise ... crickets?

This is from Metalink note 249212.1:

"Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized
environments. Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle products
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."
