    I have an A8Js (not impressed with it, as said in the A8Js thread, but anyway)

    I have Windows XP Pro. According to the chart this means I need to get Vista Business. I don't want Vista business.

    Can I step down my upgrade to Vista Home Premium?

    I called Microsoft (finally) and got their licensing department. They said no I cannot. The only downgrade I can do is back to Windows XP Pro.

    Sucks.
