Oracle on Microsoft? Can it be?

Microsoft and Oracle announced a partnership allowing full support of Oracle products on Hyper-V and Azure. You can read the full announcement here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/Press/2013/Jun13/06-24WSNewsPR.aspx. It will be interesting to see how this affects the adoption of Hyper-V and Azure as the platform for these enterprise workloads. This is good news for Oracle users and it shows a commitment from Oracle to support your infrastructure decisions and seems to be a much warmer embrace of virtualization than we have seen in the past. So the real question, will you be testing Oracle on Hyper-V or Azure soon?
