Where did you hear that? The reason I ask is that it is not true.
Say it ain't so Joe! But we were told point blank that not only would we
NOT be supported on VMWare, we would not be supported on Oracles' own
VM
True with VMWare ... not true with Oracle's VM or IBM's VM.

This article was just released on September 25, 2008. I have been
speaking from this past year, and certainly, Oracles' VM, while cool, is
still a risky venture for Oracle database servers.

The article didn't say a word about Oracle Applications running on their
own VM, or their app-server, and/or when they would be supported. Like
I said, without support even the most ardent Oracle nut will have to wait.

A blog entry is not an official statement it was just the first thing
on Oracle's public website I knew everyone could read. If you want to
see the details, like a customer, log onto metalink and look at the
support matrix. I know plenty of fully supported, virtualized,
environments running e-Business Suite.

My point though is not to say supported virtualization has existed for
a decade, it has not, but rather to point out that your statement was
incorrect which is the case. Lets not quibble about the details.
