There were well known performance issues running Windows on OracleVM (even 
documented on MOS) - has that changed?

Partitioning with VMWare is not recognized as hard partitioning by Oracle - 
it's specifically listed as an example of "soft partitioning" here:

Windows virtualization? Another non-issue. When you are virtualizing servers, 
you will presumably be using bare-metal hypervisors, like Oracle VM or VMware 
ESX. They run on the hardware directly and you run VMs on top of them. You can 
use Oracle VM or ESX to virtualize Windows, like any other x86 OS.
