Can I Uninstall Vista and Install XP?

[Nightfire]

Reaper has not worked for me in Vista. Most programs havent, its been nothing but a nightmare

Also, P-J mentioned above "stopping some services to free up a fair bit of memory and a little bit of CPU time." What can I safely delete and get rid of without risking damage? I like simplicity. I imagine I can delete all the sample photos and videos that come with Vista, but what about certain programs that take up significant amounts of MB?

Crikey, there's loads. Depends on what you're doing.

I stop, amongst others...

Windows Defender, Superfetch, SSDP Discovery Service, Help & Support, Server, Computer Browser and many more
