So does this mean that if I run them on *any* guest in my cluster, and something goes wrong, VMWare won't help me? Or is it just the case that if I say "my guest OS is broken, and-by-the-way-I'm-running-open-vm-tools" they'll tell me to go away? I guess what I'm wondering is would I be likely to get support if: - I was running open-vm-tools most of the time - a problem occurred - I switched to ESX Tools and confirmed the problem still existed - *then* called support?
