linux support in first quarter of 2010

Post by paperloader »

For months MJ has said they would have linux support in the first quarter of 2010. That time has past and of course it still has not happened. I know there are workarounds like vmware, etc but native linux support would be better. Why is it taking so long! I will be surprised if it comes out by the third quarter of 2010 if ever.

Probably never, but the FAQ's/Knowledgebase should soon have a new "target date". However, it won't contain any mention of auto-renew (even though it actually EXISTS) until there's a class action suit.

I saw that too. I hope it's true. You know, when next quarter comes by it will still say "this quarter" lol, so this could be a word game, which I hope it's not.

Support for Linux NECESSARY

Post by turpin »

People are switching over to Linux in droves. These are the kinds of people who like alternatives, THE SAME KINDS OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD USE A MAGICJACK. These people need their Linux support. It's a stupid company that doesn't realize this. Pay attention or pay the price: lost customers. And at this point, I don't give a #### which, frankly. And please quit making promises and then completely ignoring them. What kind of evil game is that? It's a MAGIC evil game. Lucky us!!!!!

Well Magic Jack, it's Christmas 2011. Wheres Linux support?

Post by MagicJackLinux »

I changed over to Linux and don't have Windows at all EXCEPT for XP in Virtual Box. Magic Jack Does work in that Virtual OS. But we that want the fun of Linux are still left out. I see the new ads on TV for Magic Jack Plus and they have Windows versions and MAC showing as supported. Where is Linux? I've heard rumors, promises about having support outright for Linux since Magic Jack Came out. Nothing. So it's Christmas week 2011. Please consider Linux Support Magic Jack. You have a good product. Maybe it's up to the Linux community do do it themselves?...again.
