It's just cheaper to do it myself ;) I'm not doubting you, Evil One, I have just heard from some people who tried to go down from Vista to XP that it was problematic. What they are proably talking about is just installing XP to begin with and the "downgrade" is just a matter of wording. That is, I don't think they are talking about first installing Vista then wiping the machine and installing XP. Just my two piasters worth.
