Exchange 2007 is more friendly for virtualization since in runs primarily in memory where Exchange 2003 did more writing to disk. I/O issues have been reported by some where others it has not been a problem. Part of that mostly likely is due to your network and SAN setup. Are you going to be clustering Exchange in your VMware environment?

Any issues? Has anyone had issue particularly with a backend box being virtualized? What about if it is clustered with MS Clustering services.
