Hi DN,

I'm not sure about WoW, but I know Red Alert 2, Unreal Tournament, and a 
few others do work quite well.  You might also be able to find a port for 
Linux since WoW is so popular. 

I just did a quick Google search and found some links that might help:

Articles : World of Warcraft under Wine
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=707
-- This article says WoW works quite well under Wine with no crashes.
