It usually works for me, but I wouldn't say "perfectly". Every once in a while, something doesn't work. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I've never managed to copy to clipboard in one guest and paste in another without a bit of fiddling around, and sometimes just host<->guest mucks up too. But it usually works. I assume you're on the latest version of guest additions?
