    I can only chip in why I do not use MorphOS much, and it has really been the same issue all the time.

    * license model - to tie the license to hardware it just not something I accept, I have several systems that potentially could be running MorphOS, and I want to decide myself which one I want to use for whatever OS, MorphOS included.
    * MorphOS does not run on emulator, so I cannot easily bring it with me. In contrast, I can now easily run OS4.1FE (that I did buy) on whatever hardware I see fit.


    And yet, for the most part, Windows licenses are tied to hardware.



    No, they certainly are not.

    Windows has a whole range of options when it comes to the license, only one of them (OEM, Home Edition) is tied to hardware.
    I own a license that I use for virtual instance of Windows on whatever hardware I see fit.
