I certainly hope so. There are some nasty bugs with the Sound prefs tool as it currently stands.

Or just bring it up to 4.1.
Really though, did anyone try to update non-hardware reliant parts of OS4.0 with OS4.1 components?

I feel sorry for anyone that upgraded to OS 4.0, only for OS 4.1 to be released a few months later.

Uhm, why?
OS4.0 runs on CyberstormPPC and BlizzardPPC - OS4.1 doesnt (at least not yet).

I wonder if MorphOS developers are going to lower the price of theirs... that would be nice.

@TheMagicM

Lower the price of theirs? So they should give you money if you install MorphOS for PowerUp? ;)

Because it looks like a complete dead-end with OS 4.1 only software now being released and no upgrade path for PPC classic users.

I guess the real problem with OS 4.0 classic is that it was released about 7 years late ;)
