We still have premier support. However, we have many products that
are 'not supported' running in VMware. Generally when this comes up,
they say that, I point out best effort support, they go ok and we work
it out.
Now, we have one issue which has been identified as a vmware driver
issue but other then that they always try and resolve the issue.
As to 'getting out of' being discovered? Good luck with that. Any
troubleshooting dump will show you are running on vmware just with the
drivers alone.
