"I feel for the folks hawking Vista right now. There are too many conflicting pieces of information coming out of Redmond to figure out what to tell customers - especially business customers - who are wondering when/whether to upgrade. Consider the evidence."

Anybody knows if I can trade my Vista license for an XP pro one?
No idea about trading a license but my mother just had this same issue with a dell laptop, some software she uses for work does not support vista.
My solution was to use a Dell XP Pro OEM CD which installed on her laptop and activated automatically since the machine is a Dell.
Depending on who manufactured your machine you may be able to just find and install an OEM copy of XP from that manufacturer.

I have that question too. I just bought a notebook that shipped with Vista Home Premium OEM. I want XP on it. I already installed it but i'm using an 'internetkey' for the moment.
