	Do I infer that WP 8.0 won't do? As for the 2nd suggestion, I
won't be doing that, as one reason I am helping this person out with
Linux is due to reduced costs. An old-ish computer with minimal hardware
is all that can be bought, and Windows won't run on it (nicely :D).
Apart from that, all the licensing problems and so on. Of course, I
quite enjoy using Linux myself, but I don't think that "well, get a
couple of gigs of RAM, and several Tb of harddrive, as it's quite cheap
nowadays" will help. They might as well get Windows (that'll do all they
need to do) for a marginal extra cost on top of the extra hardware
needed.
