Ok, so now that i somewhat have wireless working (i would still like to be
able to connect without my router broadcasting my ID, but I'll live for
now), the one thing that keeps windows on my computer is WoW. Not that i
have much time to play with a new born and such. So i think i installed
the
nvidia driver (i know i need that for the improved graphic speed). Anyone
here do WoW out of Wine? Anyone know if I need to keep my windows
installation if i do get WoW working in Wine, can i put WoW on a USB Drive
and run it from there? Or does Wine need the Windows installation also?

You need the proprietary nVidia drivers installed to get the openGL
driver support. You do not need any M$ Windows stuff to run most
applications under WINE, however there are sometimes DLL's from M$
Windows that you may need to bring over for some specific apps.
The only way to run an application off an USB drive is if it stores
everything in its own directory structure. That is highly unlikely for a
M$ Windows application because they tend to store parts and pieces all
over the place and make extensive use of the registry. It could be
theoretically possible to build a script that could copy/symlink the
files and do an export/merge on the registry but I wouldn't recommend it.
