    Yes, I've done this today and, for the most part, it's working okay. Be sure to un-tick 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.

    Still a couple of issues with multiple monitor support at the moment, I'm hoping to get those resolve though. (running on a Retina Macbook Pro with 2 external displays)

    I've resolved my issue with multiple monitors now - for anyone in a similar situation, I suggest that you do NOT re-configure any of the 'Full Screen' options before setup, instead:

    - Install from the ISO (un-tick 'Express installation')
    - Don't run in full-screen yet.
    - Install Parallel Tools (Menu -> Virtual Machine -> Install Parallel Tools)
    - Shut down the virtual machine.
    - Reconfigure the machine, tick Full Screen -> Use all displays in full screen
    - Restart the virtual machine
    - Enter Full Screen mode
