- Vista Downgrade

I don't really think this answers the persons question. That is why I don't
depend on others who cannot just give a straight answer. I did talk to Dell
Tech Support today and you can downgrade to Win XP home edition or
Professional. All you have to have is the Win XP disc and I would make sure
that I have the back disc for Win Vista. Otherwise anyone who says you
cannot downgrade is wrong because you can.

As long as Vista is preinstalled, yes. However, you need to be aware of the
restrictions. MS has a page for OEMs explaning the program. According to
it, Vista Business and Ultimate have downgrade rights to XP Pro x86, XP Pro
x64, and XP Tablet editions. According to the site, Vista Home Basic and
Premium do not have downgrade rights and XP Home is not an option as the
downgraded OS.

Not withstanding the downgrade rights, the primary consideration would be
whether winxp drivers are available for the hw
