103. wouldn't surprise me if M$ does this on purpose
just so you get locked into Vista and you can't fall back to XP or some other version of Windoze.
The good thing about Ubuntu and most of the other Linux OS packages out there, is that they will likely have built-in drivers for all the on-board stuff put on the motherboards, the only thing you might have to watch for is the BIOS settings as sometimes having on-board LAN and/or on-board modems enabled, that might confuse Linux at install. So you should disable them in BIOS until you can be sure there a Linux driver for them.
