Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Possible to swap Vista Ultimate (64) Licence for XP Pro (64) licence
Hi, I heard is is possible under some circumstances to swap a Vista licence back to an XP licence and would like to investigate if it is possible for me to do this. My reasons are the poor networking performance of Vista cf XP and also the fact that none of the MS development systems I am using (VS6 and VS2003.NET) will run on Vista. Thanks in advance for any advice, Mike > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Mike If you used an update version of Vista, you're SOL and will have to buy a new license. It's called Microsoft's "double dip" into your pocket. Alias >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Alias You stupid POS lying linux troll, you'd had to have purchased the upgrade.

See Frank, I'm really your friend, trying to warn you about your self-destructive personality that sooner or later will lead to your demise. Maybe you need a new hobby. Try basket weaving, or knitting, so you mellow out. You could also try Yoga and pal cut way back on your caffeine intake. Chill man, chill. Your strung so tight you're going to pop sooner or later if you continue acting like you do. >> You stupid POS lying linux troll, you'd had to have purchased the upgrade. >> Jackass loser. Get lost.

That does seem to explain the situatio pretty clearly. My problem is that I want to run XP64 and my only licenced media is XP32. Is there any way around this do you know or do I just have to go out and buy another copy of XP ? Thanks, Mike You have to buy a copy. It's like a hundred and change at Newegg for the OEM version.

You dimwitted moron...it only ever came in OEM version. Frank >> You have to buy a copy. It's like a hundred and change at Newegg for the OEM >> version. >> >You dimwitted moron...it only ever came in OEM version. >Frank Another brilliant example of Frank's command of the English language: "....it only ever" especially funny considering Frank said it after babbling 'you dimwitted moron'. I used to say Frank made it to the sixth grade. Now I realize that's an insult to every kid that actually did. Frank obviously hasn't got that far. It shows. >> Maybe this will help. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Mike The good part is, you can still get a XP x64 OEM from most local PC electronics places or a variety of on line sources. Bad part, you will have to buy another copy. Some OEMs have that downgrade option in place for Business and above, but not MS! Contact the computer Manufacturer.
