I know a couple of guild-mates that quit WoW for a bit to play that. :) I'm hoping Steam gets it right as well. Blizzard can learn a couple lessons from them! <div>
<br></div><div>Kevin, you are probably right, but I sometimes feel silly with all my devices. I really need that t-shirt from Questionable Content that says "My vices are devices".<br></div><div><br></div><div>

<div>Amy, </div><div><br></div><div>WoW does run with Wine, not the best it runs at poor graphics but you can turn your view distance up to make up for most of the loss if your only on windows for WoW. I myself had been running only Linux and managed to get wow working quite well out of the box with Playonlinux. however I couldn't manage to figure out how to compile my own version with Wine. I really only went back to windows with a Ubuntu VM because I needed to be able to get my Borderlands 2 fix and I couldn't pull that off on Linux. I don't know how anyone managed to install it with steam on Ubuntu. Though I'd love to have a platform that made it possible to run both games natively whether it be Linux based or Windows based, unfortunately I just don't see that happening any time soon. Hopefully though with this new SteamOS Steam figures it out. Cuz the performance benefit I managed to get out of Ubuntu was nothing short of amazing.</div>

I've done the "only Ubuntu" and while it works, I like playing some
games that just don't work on Linux. If Blizzard would allow it to be
run with Wine or offer a version for Linux then I'd probably kill my
Windows partition. As it stands, I'm a 5 OS household: Ubuntu, Windows
7, OSX, Android, and IOS (ipod). Oh and ChromeOS on the Chromebook but I
doubt we can count that as an OS because it's just a browser.<br>
<br>
I think I have too many devices. :)<br>
