It will save you a ton of time and maybe some money (aka not having to buy a fresh bottle of aspirin). WoW is rather "portable" in that everything is contained in its folder (unless you foolishly install WoW in Program Files on a Vista/7 machine). This means you don't have archive patches.
Unless you foolishly leave the crappy UAC turned on if you disabled it, enjoy having WoW and the Interface and WTF folders being where you told it to install
