Can anyone tell me what this downgrade rights really means Does it really mean If I have a computer with pre-installed Vista Home and I install a full copy of XP purchased I can't legally dual boot?

Can anyone tell me what this "downgrade" rights really means? Does it really mean If I have a computer with pre-installed Vista Home and I install a full copy of XP (purchased separately and after Vista Home) I am not "allowed" to have them on the same computer and dual boot and/or simply overwrite Vista Home and install XP. And if I do it anyway they will deactivate both copies of Windows? That doesn't seem right I should have to buy an upgrade to Vista Ultimate just so I can reformat my hard drive and replace it with XP (what a waste of money) to keep them from deactivating my new copy of XP.


Can you install windows 7 without removing vista?

Yes, absolutely, you can install a Windows 7 Ultimate on a computer running XP or Vista.
