Not that you'd probably really want to do this, but if Vista is just plain incompatible with what you need to run, you could run Windows XP virtually. That is, run it inside a window on your Windows Vista machine.
Mac users do this all the time to run Windows XP. We use either VMWare or Parallels. Both of those programs are also available for the Windows world, which of course is of limited use for most people (since Windows users already have Windows, duh). However, if you have a specific WinXP need, it would be one solution.
Then again, another (and maybe preferable) solution would just be to uninstall Vista from your new machine, and put XP on it. Congrats on the spiffy new laptop in any case!
