Then there's licensing for virtual machines. Oracle was really nasty in some of the licensing scenarios, IIRC. If you ran an Oracle DB on an unlicensed platform in a VM (such as VMWare), then when you got audited, you needed to pay for how many cores/sockets were in the physical server, rather than just how much CPU your VM was using.
