It's a bit tricky because the configuration is shared between Ubuntu 
desktop & server.

We discussed that at length within the desktop team, and it seems the 
conscensus is to separate the physical install recommendations vs 
virtualised one. Will Cooke (manager of the desktop team) has just 
updated the wiki page: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements?action=diff&rev2=110&rev1=109. 
I hope that facilitate that patch which is increasing a non working 
configuration.
Keep me posted.
