Definitely check out your hardware before you try to roll back to XP. I've run into a few models that have hardware that only supports vista. The sony line of laptops has been the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to this. Unless you have a very new laptop (or a sony) chances are good that at some point there were XP drivers for your model.
To be sure I would google your laptop make/model with "xp driver" added in to the search. You will find that tons of people are switching back and some companies have even started posting xp drivers on website that did not have them originally.
Good luck. I'm getting used to vista but I still think it's a terrible resource hog and the support has sucked ass.
