    Default Mac OSX on a HP laptop

    Please no mac vs pc arguments in this thread - but I am thinking of installing mac OSX on my laptop (dual boot setup). Has to do with windows crashing when I tried recording audio with it (first time I ever got a blue screen of death in windows). So, does anyone have experience with it? Would it work properly?
    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

    Not really. I'm assuming it's a hardware issue when connecting a tascam digital mixing table with usb and firewire. It didn't crash right away, and not at the same point each time, so I'm not sure what it is. Faulty drivers maybe? Works fine with both a new macbook pro and an old macbook from a couple of years ago.

    I didn't think BSOD existed after Win 95 ...

    It does. Faulty hardware / drivers will crash your OS regardless whether it's Linux, MacOS, Windows or others. Windows, for instance, has done a fine job of moving large parts of the graphics driver into userland - which means that a crash of the driver will only result in a blank screen for some seconds until the driver has restarted (and the application/game may even recover from that crash!), however, there are limits.
