    vista downgradeability

    From my understanding, the Vista ulitmate and business OEM editions are downgradable. The question is however, were do you get the xp license # to install xp pro, any one know?

    Yep, you call licencing and ask for downgrade rights and get an xp serial number.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    thanks NooNoo.... I read a couple articles on it and they said "yes" you can downgrade but not how you go about it other than to use a corporate edition....

    You are not the only one, I found out because I attended a conference on licencing and the hard bitten corporate admins had to ask too!
