Not 2 licenses... At my company, we build clones for our customer - with Vista, but we downgrade them all to XP. It's just 1 license. According to M$FT, They will not provide you with Media (you need your own XP media) or a license key (you reuse a key you have). When you go to activate, (if you didn't use a non-activation code) you have to explain to the rep that you are using your downgrade rights, and they will provide a new machine code for activation (not a new key). Vista Ultimate and Vista Business can be downgraded to XP in this manner.

So, All the money that was spent too market "the switch" is now a waste. All those "on Feb 17th..." commercials and other marketing materials are wasted money that the Gov. will have to to again, and spend more money to "inform the masses" about the delay! Can we change the old saying to add stupidity? "Only 3 things are constant in life... death and taxes - and stupidity."

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
