Question: Is there any way to rip of all the 'extra' features out of Vista and turn it into something that at least runs nearly as efficiently as XP?

Even if you reduced all the eye candy there are still so many issue
under Vista that would need to be modified.

The security features can be dumbed down, but the infrustructure is
still there and would require some pretty complex modifications to alter.
Some of which you would be able to do nothing about.

If you are a user who purchased a machine that came with Vista and
are wishing to strip it (dumb it down) to XP levels, perhaps the better
approach might be to answer these questions:

1. What is it you are trying to achieve? (Better performance, less security, etc)
2. What kind of enviroment is this machine? (Home user single machine, home network,
business network, domain, etc..)

Please give us some ideas regarding what it is you are trying to achieve, what
your system specs are, and what this machine is to be used for in general.

There might be suggestions or alternatives that can be achieved without such drastic
measures.
