Make sure you got all the win vista drivers, other than that yes. Please dont do that, Win7 is rock solid!
2 :
Yes you can but why would you want Vista. Vista is full of problems. It unstable, slow, and full of compatibility issues.
3 :
It depends on how you install windows vista. If done properly yes it can be done but it is hard 75% of the time you will fail so I dont recommend it
4 :
It's possible, but it's a terrible idea. Win 7 is basically what Vista should have been. They're even built on (essentially) the same kernel, so the same drivers/software should work on both in pretty much all cases. Why would you want Vista over 7?
5 :
Why would you want to do that? Vista is a piece of %%%$$$. Windows 7 is a much better operating system. It is less resource hungry and more stable than Vista. I succeeded in not selling systems with Vista on it during it's lifespan - I sold machines with Vista licenses but with a "downgrade" to XP (the downgrade was pre-installed by the various manufacturers (HP, Acer etc).
6 :
sure it work properly vista has high permissions then win7 if is necessary u can boot xp also. no problem
7 :
Yes, as long as you own a copy of Windows Vista. If you are going to downgrade from 7, though, Windows XP is a better choice. If your laptop didn't come with a Windows 7 installation disk, make sure you follow your manufacturer's instructions on burning a startup CD to help you reinstall Windows 7 if you want to later. Otherwise, you will have to buy another copy.

Go to hp.com Support section, enter your computer model number and operating system, and download the drivers for it. They are usually packed in the "system software" or something similar.

Hmm.. I just bought a compaq presario recently and I think you shouldn't bother considering mac.. I know that it is a true eye candy but with compatibility issues may get along the way of doing it. The bottom line is yes, it can be installed but through hardware virtualization, thus it is not native. Why switch? 7 is a great OS so far.
