As long as you are running Hyper V or have a solution certified by server virtualization validation Program (such as VMWare common configurations if I remember correctly)- you are supported by Microsoft (with caveats).

From I have heard from Microsoft- if the issue is a SQL Server issue, they will support you as normal. If they believe the issue is caused by the virtualization layer than there is not much they can do to help- especially if it is a performance issue...
