upgrade to vsphere 5(vSphere4.1) with VMware view 5(from4.5)

I am new to this community, please bear with me if I am asking you anything which may look foolish.

We have vphere 4.1 and  esxi 4.1 in our environment. Also VMware VIew 4.5 is used for desktop provision.

We are considering to upgrade the above components to version 5. i.e. vSphere5/e sxi 5/ Vmware View 5.

I was looking at a KB article

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=101129...

which says,

"VMware View 4.x customers should not upgrade to vSphere vCenter Server 5.0 at this time. VMware View 5.0 is supported on VMware vSphere 5.0. "

Anyone who has upgraded from 4.x to 5 without any issues and if the setup is working fine. Please let me know.

Regards,

Abhijit

vCenter 4.1 U1 and U2 (not GA) are fully compatible with VIew 5. You should first upgrade View, and after that, the vCenter. It should work flawlessly.
