Microsoft will allow Windows 8 passes for downgrade to Windows 7 and Vista

As with all operating systems, Windows 8 Pro certainly will not please all consumers. But few may realize the downgrade to previous versions (Windows 7 and Vista) without giving up the license for it - and even buy a new one. The option is available for users with the OEM version of the system (one that is distributed by automakers).

 

One advantage of this is the possibility of better relationships between businesses and consumers. A computer manufacturer may, for example, sell the machines with Windows 7 active and allow users to go to Windows 8 when they feel safer for it.

 

Another possibility is just the opposite, to prevent someone who is already familiar with a platform is bound to change. According to the PC World site, there is still no confirmation that other versions of Windows 8 will also allow the downgrade. It is also necessary to point out that Windows XP is not part of the compatibility list.
