Does anyone use voice recognition software, because struggle with a keyboard?

I get back pain pretty bad and using the keyboard for long periods, makes arms and shoulders ache. Someone recommended that I try out voice recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking. If anyone out there uses it on a regular basis, I'd love to hear how you're finding it. For those than don't know, voice recognition software works via speaking into a headset which is in connected to your computer, and it types what you say.

Do you have vista on your laptop? I know all new vista machines have voice recognition built into them. s
