I guess Lenovo must be doing something right for their users unwilling to accept Vista for what it is.

If you have Windows Vista Business or Windows Ultimate system up and running, all you need to do is purchase from them a Windows XP Recovery CD. Offer is valid until July 2008.

Boot to the CD and it will turn your Vista into XP. Boot to Vista Recovery CD and your machine will see Vista back up and running. For more info visit Lenovo page below.

BTW I don't know about you but I believe every other OEM system builders should adopt Lenovo example and offer something like this!
