I tried installing Morphos on my iBook G4, and it didn't work. So "all iBook G4s" work is a lie.

Well the least they could do, seeing that they fixed it, is release an updated iso, instead of making me wait until 3.3.

Have you paid for it? If not then they are not obliged to do anything for you.  Patience is a virtue not many are blessed with.


The iBook yes. Because they said all are compatible. So I bought one.

You haven't paid a penny to the MOS team so they are not obliged to provide you with anything.

Like I said, patience is a virtue.


I didn't buy an iBook hoping that some day it will be compatible. I bought an iBook because THEY said it is compatible. It has nothing to do with virtue, it is about being responsible.

You bought a machine for peanuts and have been given a free demo to test if your hardware is compatible. You discover it isn't, you report it, the team acknowledge the bug with your specific hardware and promise to fix it and release a bug fixed version when it's done.

I fail to see the drama here.

The price I paid is irrelevant. I wasn't given a 'free demo to test if my hardware is compatible' because they had already confirmed that it was compatible when they said that all iBook G4s are compatible. I was given a free demo to see if I like MorphOS in which case I would have bought it.

It is unfortunate situation and in no way intented, but they said it'll be fixed reasonably quickly with the upcoming bug fix release. They know their responsibilities and do the best...


They fixed it pretty much immediately, not sure if they will release the fix any quickly though, unless you can quote them on that?
