I agree with the above, Vista has worked great for me and I got a 64-Bit edition. Many complaint based on what they read here on Y/A.
To answer your question, yes you can install Win XP either over Vista or create another partition and install there keeping both operating systems. You will need to buy a retail copy of XP regardless to do so.

Sure, Just boot to your xp disk and follow the instructions. I would see how you like vista first before you go through the trouble of putting a different OS on your computer.

Why remove Vista? I've been running it for a few months now, and I've had no problems. Just one piece of very old software that doesn't want to run. But other then that it works just fine.

i think you should ask laptops services whether or not your laptop will break down after changing operation system. becouse some laptops can not content driver software, if you reinstall the os, maybe some problems will take place.
one of my best friend buy a new sony notebooks, though it looks very nice, vista system is vey slow when starting it. therefore, he changed the os to xp, he found that the producer can not supply the driver cd.

I believe you can but why. You will need a legal copy of XP to put on it
