    I got a HP laptop, and HP and Microsoft, just announced they will allow downgrade to XP. my question is, will XP be given as a upgrade option if I choose to exchange my Vista licence for the XP. Vista came with the laptop, and seems rather slow, and charges often. Wireles performance is very quick, both my old laptop, and my mac mini, can get wireless perfectly fine, but my HP with a broadcom wireless card cannot. I checked all the antenna connections, and all fine. Anyone downgraded.
    Thanks
