Sup, I was wondering if it is possible to SAFELY delete Windows Vista after installing it onto a Windows XP (Home, in my case). I haven't installed it yet but just making sure before actually doing so... I heard of some people unable to boot their XP after installing Vista...
Also, I have a new SAMSUNG laptop that has a Celeron M CPU(1.6GHz), 512MB RAM (shared with 128MB of Video{MAX 256MB}, so avaiable RAM is 384MB), ATI Radeon Express 200M, a 50GB hard drive (one partition) and a DVD ROM drive. I was wondering if this enough to even install Vista (let alone to run it..) I heard of some people successfully running Vista with a 64MB video card...
Some feedback will be great...!

Windows XP error and Vista BETA2 requirements
Sup,
Yo!
I was wondering if it is possible to SAFELY delete Windows Vista after installing it onto a Windows XP (Home, in my case).
Only if you clean install Vista to a separate partition. And you have a bit of luck :)
I haven't installed it yet but just making sure before actually doing so... I heard of some people unable to boot their XP after installing Vista...
Most of these people installed Windows Vista to the same partition that Windows XP was installed to, which is a big no-no if you want to keep XP. The other people were unlucky.
Also, I have a new SAMSUNG laptop that has a Celeron M CPU(1.6GHz), 512MB RAM (shared with 128MB of Video{MAX 256MB}, so avaiable RAM is 384MB), ATI Radeon Express 200M, a 50GB hard drive (one partition) and a DVD ROM drive. I was wondering if this enough to even install Vista (let alone to run it..)
Yes, this will install Vista. Don't expect best-in-class performance though, as this is hitting the "minimum recommended" requirements. I don't recommend installing beta operating systems to a new laptop, either.
I heard of some people successfully running Vista with a 64MB video card...
Yup. Vista will work with just about any video card ... but you need a decent one for the "fancy stuff" like glass.

You'd better make sure that there are Vista drivers available from the manufacturer before putting Vista on a laptop. If there are, download them and burn them to a cd because you may not have internet access without them once you come up in Vista. Also if you only have a recovery cd with your laptop then you also may have problems using it if Vista overwrites the function key code used to start the recovery back to XP. If this is your primary home computer then do not install Vista on it.

FWIW, I just pieced together a test system this past weekend, using a Intel basic integrated MB (D101GGX?) w/512meg ram, and a Intel 630 (3.0Ghz) processor.
The MB uses a ATI chipset that includes on-board integrated ATI Radeon Express 200 graphics.
Vista installed just fine and actually runs pretty decent. Yes it's running glass.
All devices were detected and installed and supprted right from the start in my case.
