[windows software] Schools Agreement and downgrade

[bladedanny]

Hey All,

 

We are a part of the MS schools agreement and still use windows xp.

I'm sure I heard somewhere that to downgrade to XP I'd need any new machines to have a windows 7 pro licence?

 

Is this true?

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

No its not true. All you need is a PC licensed to run Windows of any flavour. You are still licensed for downgrade rights. All my PCs come with whatever the cheapest version of Windows I can get hold of and use the agreement to put whatever version we require on them.
