Can I exercise XP downgrade rights if I currently have Vista or Windows 7?
No. Only OEM system builders can provide the "XP Downgrade" option. Velocity Micro only provides this option with the purchase of a new system.
This does not however prevent you from installing your own retail licensed copy of XP on your system.
