Dell and Lenovo are prepared to utilize downgrade rights found within the End User Licensing Agreement for Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate to continue offering Windows XP Professional for mainstream desktop and notebook product lines.

Users must select either "Genuine Windows® Vista Business BONUS" or "Genuine Windows® Vista Ultimate BONUS," for Dell to install Windows XP Professional. The computer will ship with a backup media disc for Windows XP Professional, as well as the media for Windows Vista for upgrade purposes (since the computer is licensed for that OS as well). Dell will provide technical support for both operating systems.
