Downgrading From Vista 64 Bit
Hi,
i am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit version.
After many compatibility problems including anti-virus software and my new ipod, i want to downgrade from this version of windows to a 32 bit version.
Is this possible? and how do i go about doing this?

Thanks,

Sean

Try contacting Microsoft.

They have an option to get a 64bit liscence free with certain editions of Vista, maybe the opposite holds true as well.

Microsoft want £46 + VAT to look at my email :O
Has anyone else downgraded?
Is it just as simple as buying a new OS and installing it?

You're not "downgrading". You're reinstalling. Put the disk in, boot, and follow the prompts. Yes, as simple as buying and installing.
