It seems that HP Laptops do not show battery time left with Vista but only percentage %... :huh:

Battery time remaining not displayed in Vista on my Compaq f756nr - TechSpot Troubleshooting

Vista wont caluclate remaining battery time : Ink, Windows Touch, and Other Tablet PC Development : Software Development for Windows Client : MSDN Forums

...maybe HP doesn't want to show how long will their battery last in their laptops?
Why don't they release updated drivers/bios to correct this?

Here is how it should be (Acer, Dell, Lenovo etc. laptops do, I've read):
