Vista downgrade for Acer customers? I heard that 
Acer would offering to downgrade to XP for free. Anybody know anything about the details?

I noticed that too. Isn't it anything more than Home Basic?

Any new PC could run XP. And that wouldn't be a case against Vista, right?

"For those who came in late, Microsoft has been sued for it marketing plan which stuck Vista Ready stickers on PCs that could not actually run anything less than Vista Home effectively."
