    In Ireland, yes for now, provided you stay in the Small|Medium|Large Business range and out of the "Home" range.

    If you get Vista Business you can downgrade to XP Pro.

    Rights to OEM versions of systems software are granted in the OEM License Terms. The OEM License Terms for most OEM versions of systems software do not grant downgrade rights. The exception is the OEM License Terms for the Windows® XP Professional operating system and the Windows Vista™ Business and Windows Vista Ultimate operating systems, which grant downgrade rights. See the full text of the OEM License Terms for the specific downgrade rights.
