I've used native (I installed Win 7 to try it) and under VirtualBox. 
Both have the same performance.
(a) dragon is the best
(b) dragon is terrid

I did the 1/2 hour Alice down the Rabbit Hole training Then Said
"The sky is blue the sea turquoise" Dragon translated as "Blue men stand 
in a tall sea" (The translation is para phrased, it was unadulterated 
rubbish with occasional words recognised)

VirtualBox is very suitable for this sort of fiddling. Dragon was hard 
to get running, I would not even consider wine.
(Many hours to their help desk until a really savy engineer helping out 
on help desk solved and walked me through the install)
CrossOver give it a bronze.
My samsung android (but that is huge infra structure) gets 95% correct 
so I guess my slurred uninteligble speech *can* be done.

My mate loves dragon, I guess he has learned how-to-talk to dragon!
