WACOM Intuos Pro
I have seen a few questions regarding the Wacom tablets, so I thought I would give a bit of info on my experience.
I have the Wacom Intros Pro Medium and am running CC3+ in a Fusion Virtual Machine on a MacBook Pro. Windows version is 7.
Right off the bat with no configuration needed the tablet works quite fine in CC3+. The round scroll pad on the tablet worked with zoom automatically and some of the predefined buttons were also providing workflow help such as a precision mode that crops a small area and automatically reduces pen travel and increases sesitivity for very smooth precise work.
While poly-lines won't allow you to sketch, it was very easy to draw by gently dragging the pen along the tablet lightly tapping as I went to define points.
All in all a smooth fully functioning effort. I am going to try and remap a few of the buttons so I can pull up sheets and such to see how that works next.
I will say a good mouse is also quite effective and even though the tablet is nice, I wouldn't say rush out and buy one now. I will say if you were considering it and have the cash, it will work just fine, especially if it will work on Windows 7 in a VM on a Mac.

EDIT: That's the button on the right with the pencil drawing the line
I will experiment as I go along.

I think I will probably stick with my mouse. I use the freehand drawing tool almost to the exclusion of all else, because its easy enough to outline the shape of a polygon then convert it to one by right clicking the fractalize tool and choosing 'path to polygon'. I couldn't have drawn any of my maps without the freehand drawing tool.
