Microsoft is continuing this because for every PC you buy, you are now buying two copies of an operating system from them. You pay how much you would pay for a computer with vista installed, plus another $100 for the "downgrade" option for XP. You are literally paying for XP and Vista. Really makes the whole situation pretty lame.

You most certainly do NOT pay twice. I buy at least 3-4 machines a month for my business and I always get a free downgrade to XP Pro.
