Vista Rollback to XP

One of the most frequently asked questions I get on a daily basis is, can you roll Vista Back to XP?! Through a lot of research and requests, I have determined this; If you want to take advantage of the most current hardware components, while using Windows XP, buy a computer with XP on it. Yea there are still some out there. Thats the easiest way to do so.
I recently tried to actually do this on an HP Laptop and everything went successfully until I tried loading the last 2 drivers. Both of which were related to nVidia MCP51 chip. I was unable to find this anywhere. I called HP, they told me it wasn’t available for XP. I called Microsoft, they said, call HP. I called nVidia, they didn’t answer. So I decided to call every major vendor out there, and there, HP, Sony, nVidia, ATI, Intel, Microsoft, Gateway and even ACER(who is having their own problems at this point). The only one that could tell me anything about this situation was Sony. They told me that a solution for this problem was being worked out and they would be releasing the drivers to allow you to roll your Windows Vista computer back to XP in a few months. Thank you Sony.
