> That's the 3th time that I talk with guy at Corel about WP 7.0. First, please don't spam so many lists at once - that's just bad manners and not encouraged at all. Thanks. Second, what you should tell Coral to do is send us a copy of the Linux version and we'll try to certify it for use under FreeBSD. I don't think that Coral should be pushed to do a FreeBSD version until we have a better idea of the size of our market since pushing them to do a port and then seeing it sell badly would be worse than no port at all. It would only screw us for a second chance. I would be happy if vendors with Linux versions of their products would give us a chance at certifying it under the emulator and, if it works, listing it as supported under FreeBSD as well (we will also have to improve our Linux library support, but that would be a natural side-effect of the certification process also).
