Vista - Uninstall Vista

I recently upgraded my OS from Windows XP Professional with SP2 to Vista
Business. Vista is running fine on my system but i think i would prefer to
go back to XP until i decide to get a new system. Does anyone know how to
uninstall Vista? I have not deleted any of the old Windows Files that were
left behind when the upgrade was done.

If the links provided by John and Carey don't work then you'll need to do a
clean install of XP.
