It would probably be a pain to get rid of it. Downgrading operating systems when it comes to windows is a royal pain in the ass.

Just do a complete re-install. If you have any existing software that came with the computer that you actually want to keep, be safe and Ghost it onto a new CD, as well as double-check what isntallation CDs came with the computer. I am really, really, really considering downgrading my laptop.
Having Vista on it not only saps about 1/4 of my ram .. (even tho it's 2 gigs).. Alone. Direct X10 isn't even worth having, being that only like 2 games actually can run on this system as of yet, so if you are a gamer, maybe keep it, but if not don't worry about it DX9 if just fine.
As for features, XP was much faster and much more efficient IMO for what it's worth.
Vista does make it easier a bit, and they have cleaned up Control Panel quite significantly, and Windows defender actually does work, and you can contorl what starts up when your computer turns on, but all in all XP is still the champ.
