On WoW Insider, pretty positive review and improvements of WoW on Mac. http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/10/26/leopa...-well-with-wow/ (http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/10/26/leopard-plays-well-with-wow/)
One final note: WoW itself may run well under Leopard, but apparently Ventrilo does not. They claim a proper fix is just around the corner, but in the mean time, here's a workaround (adapted from this post (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2518770650&postId=25734822896&sid=1#20) on the forums): just run the following lines in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app). You'll be asked for your password after the first line.
sudo -s
cd /Applications/Ventrilo.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/main.nib
cp objects.xib objects.xib.old
cat objects.xib | sed 's/rowHeight">0</rowHeight">20</g' > objects.xib.new
rm objects.xib
cp objects.xib.new objects.xib
exit
For the wary (and you should be), this script runs a new shell with root privileges, moves to your copy of Ventrilo, makes a backup of one of its resource files (objects.xib), modifies one of the settings in that file, and then logs out of the shell.
