I've never run Windows on OracleVM, so I have no idea how bad the performance 
is, but according MOS documents 468634.1 and 464756.1 it is significantly 
slower than on native hardware.

Hi.

Oracle VM supports hard partitioning on x84 hardware, as explained here:

http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Hard+partitioning

As mentioned previously, since Windows is installed inside the VM and the VM is 
limited to use specific CPUs, the licensing of Oracle is based on the CPUs the 
VM can see, not all the CPUs on the server.

Cheers

Tim...
