I have an iBook G4 (last version before MacBook). Is it possible to install Front Row on my laptop? Is it available and compatible?

Thanks!

Sorry, FrontRow wasn't made for iBook G4's. You won't be able to install it.
There are some who supposedly got it to run, but it is from an illegal hack which won't be discussed on this forum.

What's Apple's reasoning for not having front row run on a G4?

They are not compatible or designed for that software. They don't meet Apple's requirements for the application, as they don't have an IR receiver. To try and circumvent that is a violation of the EULA for the Front Row software.

Please explain why my post was deleted!

I'd rather the whole post was deleted if there was some infringement than removing the contents of my post but leaving the framework.
