Have a read of the EULA.

You can't use that licenxe for XP , unless you upgrade to a version that allows a downgrade :rolleyes:

Vista business allows you to use XP pro, but not xp home. Microsoft can't risk upsetting the corporates, but foisting vista on the consumer seems to be the plan.

You have purchased a license and so the goods and services act doesn't apply , it doesn't even have to be of merchantible quality
