UC on UCS - VMware ESXi 4.1

[clayostlund]

Can we load UC on UCS with VMware ESXi 4.1, or 4.1 U1?  All of the documentation I've seen say 4.0, but 4.1 has a ton of performance enhancements, as well as security and bug fixes.

What is the Official Position of Cisco?

Anyone with knowlege of the position, is it purely a testing thing, or why has 4.1 not yet been supported?

Thanks in advance for the reply.
