    We got several laptops in at work that were accendentialy ordered with vista installed and we wiped them out of the box and installed XP pro.


    My question is I now have multiple keys for vista buisness and was wondeing what I could do with them or are they any benefit?

    You cannot do anything. Those are OEM keys ONLY for THOSE laptops.

    He's right you can't do anything but you could have used the downgrade option from business to XP and saved tons of money . . .
