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.
Some company watchers have been wondering about the downgrade rights that Microsoft will offer when Windows 7 ships. When AppleInsider reported this weekend that HP was going to offer Windows 7 users the ability to downgrade to XP, I asked Microsoft about the story.
Here’s what a spokesperson representing the company’s Windows client division told me via e-mail on April 5:
MJF: Does Microsoft have downgrade rights for Windows XP planned as part of Windows 7?
Microsoft spokesperson: Yes. This is not the first
time that Microsoft has offered downgrade rights to a version other
than its immediate predecessor and our Software Assurance volume-license customers can always downgrade to any previous version of Windows. (Note: Microsoft changed the statement from “Software Assurance” to “volume license” Monday afternoon.)
