I don't want to come across as a troll or anything but why would you want to run AROS on Efika when MOS is available? I just can't see what advantages it would bring.
Same has been asked about running Linux when one could run Windows on a given machine. Some people prefer to run a Open Source OS while others do not want to pay the M$ tax. Then there are some freaks like me that run Linux because not only do I not like Windows and it's price tag, I prefer Open Source whenever possible.
It goes down to offering the retail customer a option of an Amiga-like OS without having to pay for it or be treated as a second class citizen. Genesi makes it's money by hardware sales so offering their product with increased value for the same price is a win for Genesi. Nor do I really see MorphOS to grow with Genesi to fill Genesi's need with their future hardware development. Both AROS and Anubis-OS can achieve solid growth to match Genesi's.
