Q: Can I Downgrade Windows Vista to Windows XP?

A: Sure! You need to get a good backup, find some XP installation media that will install and activate on your machine, make sure XP drivers are available, locate your application installation disks, and then reinstall Windows XP. Now install the drivers, install Service Pack 3, install Windows Updates, reinstall your applicaton software, and restore your backup.

If that sounds complicated, you're in luck!  I've written a complete guide to downgrading Windows Vista to Windows XP, The SelfGeek Manifesto - Computer Secrets Unleashed Volume 3.
