With a good quality microphone and a reasonably fast PC (no Mac version of Dragon per se), Dragon rocks. I was so happy recently when MacSpeech finally released MacSpeech Dictate, which is based on the Dragon recognition core. I trained it for all of 5 minutes and it performs beautifully. I'd rather have Dragon NS proper, and if they ever bring it out for the Mac I'll probably buy it.
When MacSpeech screwed up my microphone order and adamantly refused to make it good, the guys at emicrophone got me what I needed in record time and with complete and accurate instructions. I got so tired of wires, plugs, usb pods, and yet more wires that I sprung for the Samson Airline 77 wireless mic, and have been very happy with it. And since you're only paying $100 for Dragon, you can afford to buy a $400 microphone! ;-) ;-)
