It runs fine in a vm. Of course I'm running a dual core i7 with 8 gb
ram. I doubt it would run well on much less of a system, but I run osx
VoiceOver and fsx and I switch back and forth sometimes and it works
fine. Only issue I have is with sound on my headset but this is a
known issue and is why I really should run it in windows native. It
amazed me too let me tell you. I do turn scenery and graphics down a
bit, but tts and speech recognition work quickly.
