In Microsoft parlance, "downgrade" describes the Windows licensing rights that let users of newer versions replace it with an older edition without having to pay for another license. "Final decisions are still being made on details like end-user downgrade rights outlined in the applicable product license terms," a company spokeswoman said in an e-mail. Microsoft confirmed that it's not ready to spell out downgrades for the new OS. "Will Microsoft offer downgrades to XP? They've not answered that question yet. "Downgrade rights are hugely important for Windows 7," said Silver.
But the issue is just as important for Windows 7 as it has been for Vista. Microsoft has yet to reveal its plans for "downgrades" from Windows 7, the in-development successor to Vista, noted Michael Silver, an analyst with Gartner. its not so bad when you can avoid the marketing driven Metro environment.Downgrade rights for Windows 7 will be "hugely important," an analyst said Thursday, but he's not optimistic that Microsoft will let users continue to install Windows XP on new machines. Whoever these guys at Start8 are I hope they stick around for a while. almost (First Bob, then Vista, now win8). I can almost excuse Microsoft's obviously incompetent management now. but, that being said, with Start8's bypass of Metro I am happy. Win7 is by far the best OS from MS for desktop machines and a fitting upgrade from XP. I went from 'Vista the PIG' to Win8 (and have win7 on 2 other machines). Why not install something like Start8 or Classic Dock so the Start menu is back on instead of going through all the hassle of wiping it clean? Not sure how to stop that, but I have to admit that they don't pop up as often as they did before Start8. However, I still can't keep the pesky "charms" side bar and the enormous date and time from popping up whenever they feel like it. I just downloaded Start8 last night and it does help a lot.
