We just got a new computer that has windows vista on it.The only thing my
husband uses the computer for is to play solitaire.He hates the vista
version. Is there someplace I can download the xp version?

If you have a computer with XP around you can copy the solitaire files from
C:\Windows\system32\
You need sol.exe and cards.dll.
Put them in a folder on Vista together and create a shortcut to the sol.exe
file.

However there is the question of whether the EULA alows one to do this
legally.

It doesn't, but when has that stopped anyone in this era of Limewire
pirates?
