I trhink it's a mostly useless point, because to get real support for
applications running in such environments, you'll need to get them
validated for them.
Remember that third-party vendors don't even support running inside
VMWare without validating it.

So you'll need to get validation for every kind of host/brandz
combination. Who will pay for that?

I'm not denying it can be interesting in some small of little
consequence, or huge projects with lots of resources. But not for
wholesale deployment at this point.
