Sadly, if you already have the computer (you are not ordering it now), you cannot downgrade. The %26quot;Anytime Upgrade%26quot; cost to Ultimate is fixed by Microsoft. However, depending on where you got you machine, the manfacturer may be able to assist you with a discount copy of XP Pro. In the worst case you could return the machine if you are still within the window.
Other Replys:A lot of users are unhappy with Vista. The big problem is that most of the new laptops are not set up with XP drivers. I am putting off the purchase of a new one for at least a year to give Microsoft time to sort out the problems of the new operating system, or give up and revert to an upgraded XP.
Other Replys:Most likely, you will not be able to downgrade to XP Pro, unless your particular pc is also offered with that operating system. Vista drivers are not compatible with XP. Either way, upgrade or downgrade, you will have to purchase a license for the OS.
