XP is Silently Pushed By Microsoft

Microsoft is silently pushing for a quick Windows Vista downgrade option for Windows Vista Business and Ultimate versions. This is a major move from their strong push for Windows Vista when decided to tell PC makers to stop pushing for Windows XP and instead pre-load everything with Windows Vista.

Fujitsu, HP and Lenovo have started pushing or including PC downgrade Windows XP disc to make move to Windows XP easy to consumers. The downgrade Microsoft offered a few months back were not as simple as what the XP downgrade disc offer.

Microsoft should not worry much even if consumers want Windows XP since they would pay for Windows XP and eventually move to Windows Vista when Microsoft officially stops the support for the old operating system.

This should satisfy consumers and at the same time help Microsoft have future consumers for
their latest operating system.

It may not be the best move; but silently, it may be a better strategy for now.
