Microsoft is simplifying the processes via which its PC-maker partners will be able to provide "downgrade rights from Windows Vista to Windows XP for their customers.
Microsoft will implement the first of the policy changes for its Gold Certified (top-tier) OEM partners within the next couple of weeks. The company will streamline downgrade-rights policies and procedures for the broader channel somewhat later, said John Ball, general manager of Microsofts U.S. Systems Group.
