Another reprieve for Microsoft's XP 'downgrades'
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft confirmed Monday that customers who buy new PCs after Windows 7 ships will still be able to downgrade those systems to Windows XP.
Confirmation came after AppleInsider reported over the weekend that HP will continue selling XP Professional as a downgrade to Windows Vista, as well as to Windows 7, through April 30, 2010 -- more than a year from now.
"We can confirm that this is happening, but no dates have been announced for the end of Windows 7 downgrade right facilitation to Windows XP," a Microsoft spokesperson told InternetNews.com in an e-mail.
