I've noticed IB M now as a stripped down version called "ViaVoice 
Simply Dictation For Mac OSX." It's in the $50 price range, and while 
it probably suffers from the same problem as its bigger brother, it's 
a sign (maybe) that IBM is pursuing the OSX market seriously. 
Considering that there are over 40,000,000 Macs currently in use, but 
only about 800,000 copies of OSX sold (no telling how many are in 
use), the market is not as large as IBM would like. I doubt if there 
will be any improvements to the OS9.x.x version of Via Voice, and 
until apple fixes Jaguars' sound issues, any improvements of the OSX 
version will be moot.
