The questionnaire to fill in gives you no way of telling them that you are using WP8 under FreeBSD. The "where did you get WP8" question has options for a number of ftp sites or most of the Linux distributions. It then goes on to ask things like; "How long have you been using Linux", "Do you use Linux at home and/or work". I was hoping to find a free text comments field where I could state that I use FreeBSD not Linux, but alas there is not one. There also didn't appear to be a specific Feedback link either. I think we (FreeBSD users) should let Corel know we are using WP8, but how? With a large organization like Corel it is important to target e-mails, just e-mailing support@corel.com will probably have no effect. Does anyone have any contacts at Corel and/or know an e-mail address that we could send comments to where they might actually do some good?. OK, maybe Corel don't give a toss if you're not running Linux, but I think we should at least attempt to inform them that there are plenty of people using WP8 under FreeBSD. -- FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org My Webpage http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov _______________________________________________________________ Mark Ovens, CNC Apps Engineer, Radan Computational Ltd.
