Plus, not everybody ONLY runs WoW. They might be doing any number of things. This should help move WoW across both cores far better than before - so that if nothing else you are bumping up your FPS where as before the CPU just sat idle with excess capacity because WoW couldn't use it properly.
Yes, I do suppose it will improve performance at the office -- alt-tabbing between budget spreadsheets and wow.
What about quad-core machines.
Do these suddenly become more viable?

You'd assume so. Same principals & architecture. If WoW is now running as a complete multi-threaded application then there should be no diffrence between a dual core and a quad core (aside the quad core producing even better performance)
The push to go from single to multi threaded is MUCH harder than multi to supporting quad cores.
I remember seeing the option for how many cores in the config.wtf.
Didn't notice anything at all on my AMD X2 dualcore.
'Cos X2's are teh suck!
