It works great for me. My system specs:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B00
I can confirm that if I turn on the GT video card that I can actually play DoTA (Warcraft 3) in Vista at 1024x768 with no skipping. Obviously it doesn't balk at anything less complex (like Linux development and testing, which is what I usually use it for).
Edit: The support for multiple monitors is also greatly improved. I tend to like to connect my MBP to a second monitor, throw the VM on it, then fullscreen it. Works great.
