XP Downgrades Till 2020

Wish we had this bit of news to report when we recorded Episode 9 earlier in the day. 


It seems that Microsoft has extended the downgrade period for Windows XP.  Odd thing is its for select versions of Windows 7. Only users of Windows 7 Ultimate and Professional OEM versions are allowed the downgrade. 


Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc summed up the policy change by stateing, "Our business customers have told us that the removing end-user downgrade rights to Windows XP Professional could be confusing,"
