I set this up recently:

Really easy, worked well except I think I had to turn on 3D acceleration and I ran the stuff from the command prompt under my own user (not as administrator).

I use it for testing.

Nice, last time I tried this I got it working but it was very very slow running on Dell i7 with 16gb ram and ssd so I'm not sure why it was slow in VM.

With vitrtualization enabled in the bios etc, it's not bad. It's not useful as a primary or even secondary OS - I'd use it for little more than testing myself. I wouldn't call it slow though.

Running one for Xcode. It doesn't run bad, but compiling takes some time.
