Ease of use, mostly.  Having an all-in-one package means I have less
hardware to troubleshoot when trying to get the thing set up and working
(especially if someone ther than I were to be the primary user).

I have nothing against MorphOS, I have no experience with it, so prejudices
against it couldn't exist.  I usually don't dual boot machines - I like to
have a machine that does one OS, and does it well, and has that OS always
available.  It's just gut reaction with about 5 minutes worth of pointing
and clicking - actually, not true, I read an article on the Terrasoft board
last night and was impressed.
