HP doesn't promote Microsoft, they just guarantee the software they've tuned and tested for the hardware they sell. With acpi, the OEMs decide how to manage the hardware and the operating system plays an important role. So I'm not surprised if there are issues with Ubuntu. On the other hand, linux kernel works well on most of the hp laptops I've come across. > And i=A0appreciate=A0if any one have better=A0suggestions=A0other than ub= untu to be installed.

I suggest you first shrink the Vista partition and dual boot into linux. The factory installed system contains important parameters which may be useful to tune the linux system. Later on when things are settled you could use the whole disk for linux. Note that you should keep the recovery partition (or back it up). Your warranty is usually void if you don't have the factory installed system when you send for repairs.
