I just stumbled across some very hilarious news from coolest-gadgets.com that users who bought their PCs which came bundled with either Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Ultimate edition are now being offered the option to downgrade back to Windows XP!

So what’s the difference between Vista Business and Ultimate? Well, briefly speaking, “Business includes features, such as simpler troubleshooting and support for domains, which can reduce your costs while increasing your long-term IT growth potential.” Business edition currently costs $299.95 dollars to buy in full and $199.95 to upgrade. While the Ultimate edition is really the most complete edition of Windows Vista available —”with the power, security, and mobility features that you need for work, and all of the entertainment features that you want for fun.” The Ultimate costs $399.95 for the full and $259.95 for the upgrade.

More after the jump…

The fact that Microsoft is now offering this downgrade option really indicates their acceptance to the fact that the launch of Vista wasn’t as much of a success as they had expected! As for myself, I haven’t yet made the jump to Vista, however as for those who have, I’m sure the next service pack will deal with some of your major Windows issues soon.

Here’s a downgrade link which is currently offered by Lenovo for downgrading their PCs!
