Dragon requires more processing power and uses considerably more ram.

However, Dragon does not require as much training as W7 Speech Recognition since it handles the recognition differently.

W7 can be brought to the same level as Dragon with a good bit of training, but you should note that if you keep using Dragon, it will also get better.

If you can afford Dragon and are able to run it without compromising the speed of the rest of your system and need speech recognition for work, then go with Dragon. If it's for fun, then go with W7.
