I've been talking to a friend who hates everything about Vista on her 
new laptop, including its incompatibility with important software she 
uses. She called Microsoft and was told should couldn't downgrade to XP 
because she didn't have Vista Business. I'd never heard of such a thing 
until now. 

Since she has licensed XP install media, I can't think of anything 
preventing her from doing a clean install ("downgrade rights" 
notwithstanding), but Microsoft has evidently put the fear of God into 
her about it.
