OEMs have been given an additional six months to sell PCs running Windows Vista with the ability to downgrade to Windows XP using an accompanying recovery disc.
downgrade from a new version???? is this history????

story

I think this speaks volumes about vista???? downgrade. this might be a 1st. a few weeks back I went down the street to do some shopping at Sam's wholesale club. they had a HP PC in the middle of the floor powered up and running. of course I couldn't resist. so I monkey'd around with it. I forgot the version. but it was complicated and very user unfriendly. I had trouble just finding "my computer" on the damned thing......
