Can anyone point me to any location on the Adobe website that states that they
will support their product, running in the approved OS in virtual machine using
VMWare? I've been through tech support, customer service, and sales and no-one
can provide this information. Our CIO needs documented vendor proof in order
for us to virtualize. Adobe is not listed on Vmware's website. Thanks for any
help you can provide.

That CIO sounds like just another empty suit. If you can virtualize Java (on
more than one OS BTW) then you can virtualize CF.

Adobe publishes no such claim, yet, but I'd bet that their paid support
options would cover such a scenario.
You'll have to contact Adobe support directly and see if they will precommit.

There are a few CF hosting services that offer virtualized CF platforms and
seem to have no problems with it.

one of our clients runs dozens of vmware servers running CF - they've had no issues beyond underpowering (dodgy server hardware)

Coldfusion MX is not supported running in VMWare or any virtual machine. That
being said, I have seen ColdFusion MX successfully installed under VMWare and
running with no problem.

If you ran into an issue with ColdFusion MX running in VMWare, it would be
supported only if the problem could be reproduced in a regular, non-VMWare
installation. If the problem is only happening in VMWare, then it would not be
officially supported.

I hope this answers your question.
