But you can find more useful free-ware for Windows online, so it balances out. ;)
My current one has given me the blue screen a few times in the past couple of months, but a quick restart fixed problems. The only time restart didn't work was back in first year, when I've had the laptop for just a couple of months and calling the tech support was no help at all. Thankfully, my friend did some googling and fixed it in an hour. It just sounds as if PCs are more prone to random errors -- but, as I said, I could just be getting that impression because of reporting bias.
Out of curiousity, how long does the battery on your HP last? Toshiba laptops seem to be stuck around three hours -- and after four years of use, mine has died down to 1-1.5 hours.
