Since v4 of VMWare, Dragon or ViaVoice runs perfectly in VMW, under SUSE, or any distro. I use it all the time.
I run TurboTax (or TaxCut, which I'm switching to) under Win4Lin, which has similar functionality to VMWare. Win4Lin does require that you have a licensed copy of Windows, though, and I assume VMWare does also. The arguments for VMWare vs. Win4Lin are a whole other thread.
The advantage of Wine is that it would not require a copy of Windows. Agreed. Let's put the 3 into perspective as to what they are: VMWare - Generalized virtual machine for running multiple operating systems simultaneously. Win4Lin - A Linux based virtual machine that allows you to run a copy of Windows 9x concurrently with Linux. WINE - a set of libraries and emulator where you can run many Windows
