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.
