Microsoft and its PC partners are going to allow Windows 7 users to downgrade not just to Windows Vista, but also to Windows XP, Microsoft officials are confirming.

| #2: There is something new here - MS has been trying to sunset XP for a couple of years now. They grudgingly allowed Vista users to downgrade and they only allowed XP to run on netbooks because they had to get a foothold in that market asap and Vista couldn't do it. |
