You got me, I don't eve n know which license I have (the story
is that I bought a NB with Vista bloat and a downgrade CD, which
I've used immediately), but anyway I'm sticking with this setup
since
* I rarely really execute my Windoof scenario (and since some
pretty addictive games are there I feel safer if it's little
further than arm's reach :D)
* and yes, there may be something fishy so it's not very
attractive for me to fancy about.
However it's good to know that it's possible so big thanks
especially to Scott for your detailed steps, they might come
in handy.
