I upgraded my video card to a Radeon HD5850 (from a GTX285) and I am finally able to create a desktop in World of WarCraft that spans across both monitors:

Next step- a third 24” monitor so my character isn’t in the dead-center where the bezels meet… D’oh!
I attained the ‘Ambassador’ title for my main character in World of Warcraft- by becoming ‘Exalted’ with the five Horde factions- Orgimar, Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Darkspear Trolls and Silvermoon City.
For the last one I couldn’t find enough quests for rep, so I took the IT approach- I threw money at it;I had to buy out almost all of the Runecloth in the auction house to finish of the last few 1000 points…
I remember Battle Net as the service that I logged into when playing Diabo or Warcraft II- but Blizzard has changed that.
The new battle.net web site looks to be Blizzard’s answer to Valve’s Steam Powered software; I was able to enter in my CD keys for Diablo II, Starcraft, and Warcraft III and they are made available to me for download- negating the need for me to keep the old CDs around. The games are downloaded via Blizzard’s client; the same peer-to-peer/direct download client used to distribute World of Warcraft updates.
I alsi merge my World of Warcraft account to use the same login as battle-net. Additionally, for those concerned about account theft, they offer use of the Blizzard Authenticator/Battle.net Mobile authenticator. The later is only useful (at this time) if you have an iPhone.
