I was reading a blog by Mary-Jo Foley that she posted on the 18th, citing that Microsoft will put an 18-month cap on Windows 7 to XP downgrades.

The Microsoft statement was: “Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate customers will have the option to downgrade to Windows XP Professional from PCs that ship within 18 months following the general availability of Windows 7 or until the release of a Windows 7 service pack, whichever is sooner, and if a service pack is developed.”

While many are concerned with the perceived short time frame for downgrades, Microsoft seems confident that the new Windows 7 operating system will deliver. In a couple of months, we will find out how on target that goal is.
