Hi,

in my company, all computers have Windows Vista Business Edition & Office
2007. But few people aren't satisfied and they want XP and Office 2003 back.
Window vista and office 2007 has been activated on all computer, if i remove
vista and install XP, will I be able to use my vista license again?
Thanks for your help


Regards,


Rana

Yes, you will be able to use Vista again, but you will have to telephone to
get the licenses reactivated if they are OEM or Retail Vista licenses.

free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."

True. While I really like Vista (and XP), this is the one place where I
don't agree with copy protection. Same with CD's and such... They are
punishing the legitimate consumer. The pirates can circumvent the copy
protection, it makes it a real hastle for the legit user.

That's just my opinion, though. I know that the lawyers and such are in
control of a lot of the programmers and stuff. I pay for my software and
hardware, and I know piracy is an issue. But, the pirates still crack
the software, and the copy protection only seems to **** off the little
guys...
