I am running World of Warcraft every day on my Vista RC1 computer. I have no
more problem with it than I was having with Windows XP.

It was not really working under Beta 2, I agree with that.

I run WoW on Vista RC1. Slighly worse performance than under XP, but
nothing too serious. Radeon 9600XT here, with XP drivers.
