Is that correct Java 7.0 is not supported on vSphere, Hyper-V, and XenServer?

I have since found http://weinshenker.net/blog/2011/07/28/oracle-playing-fair-vmware/. Look at the comments and someone alleging to be an Oracle employee says the following:

"Hi – The supported platforms page was mistakenly created using a standard Oracle template which is not applicable to Java. It will be updated to clarify that we support Java explicitly on certified platforms (eg those called out in the page) and on other platforms as long as we don’t run in to platform specific issues. In that case (eg, if VMware is broken) you will have to go to the platform vendor for troubleshooting and a fix.
