I mean, i havea Q1 UMPC, 1.0 Ghz, Touchscreen, no integrated keyboard, intel graphics, and wow runs fine. not even the lowest settings. When I am extra lazy, or sick, i plug it all in with a wireless keyboard and mouse to my TV. That kind of availability to potential customers pays off.

It really kind of scares me to imagine what's going on in there. They're probably busy making the 'Secret next-gen MMO', so it would probably be more worthwhile to start that one with a better engine, instead of revamping WoW. That is always a cool thing - having a game be SO computer-friendly that you need to add MORE graphical features for those that can handle it. Not for a year and a half at least.
