We are still running our vCenter 5.5 install on a physical box. This is mainly because back when we first installed vCenter (version 3.5 days) VMware recommended it be on a physical box. At least that's what the VMware teacher told us. So we have been upgrading our physical vCenter box every time VMware releases updates. I agree that having to maintain another box just for vCenter is a burden. We are planning to migrate our vCenter to a VM in the very near future. Physical hardware just doesn't make sense anymore in my opinion.
