	I was considering buying WP8 too.  Its very impressive, at least
to me.  However, I asked Corel if they would be updating it to
libc6, and they said they have no plans to do so.  I may be
over-reacting, but this lead me to wonder how committed they
really are to the Linux community.  Netscape chose to do so,
although their libc6 version is 'unsupported'.  This issue may
depend on how many distros are still based on libc5, I don't know.
