I'm wondering if it's worth it though. I run WoW fine through Wine.

After how much trial & error?
I realize Linux users are not Windows users, but how well would WoW have sold if the installation was as painful as a Wine setup can be for Joe User? If the install-to-run experience is a pain in the arse, this is a barrier to adoption. In commercial terms, this has financial ramifications.

Install wine, run installer. Done. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&...
Not defending Wine as an excuse for native ports though, don't get me wrong.
