I chose MOS because:

1.  At the time it seemed like AI couldnt be trusted with all their promises of new software/hardware.
2.  MOS was backed by Bill Buck/Genesi whom I saw as someone that didnt bullsh** me.  (yea stuff happened w/other folks & BB and thats another story).
3.  Seemed like MOS had more coders/support from legit people/companies than Hyperion did.
4.  MOS was developed at a rapid pace, 1.4 came out and it was blazing fast and had a nice interface.
5.  MorphOS is immune from AI and their greed.
6.  They have some damn good coders working for them, 2.0 is a huge release.  One must see it in order to appreciate its beauty.
7.  See #1, #5 and add, Hyperion is in some deep (insert expletive).


Price wise.. $99 bucks gets me something I can use RIGHT NOW and it whips the crap out of my PPC A4kT.

Compare it to a Minimig.  What's that a A500 replacement, correct?  For how much, $200 or so?  **$200** to replace a AMIGA   -->500<--.  The EFIKA replaces a PowerPC Amiga 4000(T).  It does exactly what I need and I can put away my A4kT (actually will ebay it I think).

I'll use UAE for games if I really need to play them, then again, I have a A500 for games.

@spihunter:

I've hit the "30" minute timeout about 4x in a row.  During those 29.x minute sessions I havent experienced whatever is going wrong.  Of course, I dont use Sputnik either.  I VNC into my linux box to use a browser and FTP the files to my EFIKA.  The bugs are being worked on.   Cant wait for the patch and also the sound support :)
