Ubuntu and windows

[hampton275]

I have bought a really nice laptop and I would like to use Ubuntu. The only problem I have is I need to access numerous windows apps. I can get around most of them with terminal services(Linux client). The only one I really am struggling with is my favorite game, World of Warcraft. Has anyone ever got World of Warcraft to run stabley on Ubuntu and how did you do it?
Any other Ubuntu with XP pointers or suggestions would be most appreciated.

You'll need a program called Cedega to play WoW, which costs money. And you will have to be sure your graphics drivers are properly installed. What type of card does this laptop have?

BTW I found the service with Cedega SUCKS. There handling of payments leaves a lot to be desired and there support when you need it is non-existant.

Apart from that its a really great app.

I am open to any possibilities to run WoW, I would like to stay away from VMWare if possible, but again, whatever the best option is will be what I go for.
I checked before I bought it and there are several Ubuntu users that have the video card working, which was the part of most concern to me.
It will have the following specs:
