Streaming World of Warcraft

This is cool. World of Warcraft, which otherwise is a rather large download (about 10 GB installed, from what I remember), can now be streamed so that you can check the game out almost immediately. minutes.

The TryWOW streaming trial client is a new offering that allows for a short up-front download of the game. While playing, the remaining game data streams in the background. This allows those with a fast enough internet connection to jump into the free trial more quickly.

Great way to sample something quickly, isn't it?
