You can't "uninstall" an operating system...you have to wipe it and install a different one.
I haven't really used Vista, but it looks nice enough. Will be quite a while before I decide to upgrade.

I've got Vista on my new laptop, it's a little touchy feely and fuzzy for me. Of course Window Blinds took care of some of that.
The video was funny, I loved it.

He doesn't know what he is talking about. Get him an appointment at the ER and have his lips stitched shut.

The problem is some people think you can whack any version in and upgrade to it no problem. The fact is Vista has a high demand on hardware and resources, so you need to make sure you have compatible hardware and software before installing. You can do this before even purchasing Vista by downloading the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor which can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=42B5AC83-C24F-4863-A389-3FFC194924F8&displaylang=en
Always make sure you do some research before spending all that money on something that may not be compatible.

I have been running Vista as my only operating system for roughly a year now and I have had little or no problems that weren't either because of drivers not ready yet, (no longer an issue for anything I use)or applications that need upgrading (also almost never an issue any more).
Anytime a new versiono f an operating system comes out there are always issues with compatibility here and there. If every sinlge Billy-Joe-Bob third party chunk of code worked there wouldn't be any significant changes or improvements to the O/S. If you want improved security, better memory management routines, more stable file system, and on and on and on... Improvements require changes and that will always have a ripple effect on other code.
As for downgrading, to do that you get an XP disk that is a full install and you boot from it. Then you tell it to do a new install, as mentioned above. You then tell it to use the entire harddrive and to delete the onld partition and create a new one, etc. If this is something the user is not really either comfortable with or understands then pay someone to do it for you.
It is slightly possible depending on the manufacturer that you could convince their suppport to either give or sell you an XP disk to revert to the previous version but this is not likely with all computer OEMs. If you are really intent on going back to XP and don't already have a copy to use then I would at least try before I buy a copy.
One last thing, I apologize for the fact that my space bar appears to be going on the fritz.
