The underlying OS is too vulnerable. You know what's going to happen.
Admins will forget to patch the OS that the virtual machine sits on and
all hell will break loose.

OK...
FUD aside. Why shouldn't ISA be utilized on a VM for production use?
Leave out the workstation VM apps. Keep it to ESX & Virtual Server...

Absolutely.
And remember...not supported doesn't mean it doesn't work. It also
doesn't mean it's not supported either.....
Betcha if you had Jimbo on the other end of the CSS phone call, he'd
help if he wasn't busy.....
Anyway..if it's a vm and it worked when you first set it up, you'd have
a backup that you could rely on anyway...wouldn't you???

Yes; disappointment in the blog posting by an otherwise respected
person.
Actually, I do like virtualization (ask Steve about my latest toy).
I'd really love it if we could have a policy that didn't have to
consider the "but I wanna!!!!" 1d10t'5 that will try to blame ISA for
what it can't control. Remember the IPv6 fiasco of last year? That was
started by an MVP, no less... Imagine what "Joe IsaAdmin" will try to
do (seen the NG postings lately?).
I'm trying to work out something a bit better than what we currently
have, but what (nearly) everyone forgets is that any ISA support
statement has to be balanced on the needle-point of "support". Our CSS
folks have to be able to recognize fact from bullshrimp and we all know
that "customers never lie; they merely misrepresent certain facts"...
MS counts support costs in minutes and every minute that the CSS folks
waste sorting out the ISA deployment into "supported & unsupported"
wastes time for the customer and MS both.

Jim,
Is that disappointment I see in the subject line?
Don't you know? Virtualization is the solution to all things. It's
backup. It's totally secure. It's business continuity. And it's cheap!
What could possibility be better?
Yes, that's sarcasm.
P.S. Oh yeah Tom. Shiver me timbers, talk like a pirate day was like so
last Wednesday, arg.

And they'll blame Microsoft when they implement abysmal security
practices because they want to get security "on the cheep"
