Steven makes a good point. I am running W2k3 R2 DC's and needed PSS support and they knew it was on VMWare but supported it anyway.
I think it really depends on the individual on the other end of the phone.

Up to the point where they want to point to 'hardware' issue. I am running LCS2005sp1 in pure VMware (labeled on the diagram I send for the call too) and get it every time I call. Fortunately we never get to the 'put it on real hardware' point before we solve the issue.
