Well first of all OS X isn't free (shocker). Why does he want OS X on his laptop? It's generally very time consuming and in the end not worth it, if you want OS X just buy a Macbook in the first place. If it's just because he wants to try out a new OS, there are plenty of fantastic Linux distributions out there.

That's not true. Fruity Loops and Ableton Live are probably the biggest and the best, and both are available for Windows (Fruity Loops which I consider the best is actually currently only available for Windows).

While it may have been true a few years ago, windows is just as good for creative applications than mac these days.
