Microsoft have allowed this pretty much since Vista was released.
It only works with Business and Ultimate though.
I think they should allow it with both Home versions as well.

Cheers for that CYaBro!. They may well do that if forced to by customers.
I was reading some of the comments in the feedback section of the article. Very interesting and not very promising for MS.

If you wanted to, instead of using XP Pro, you could downgrade to Windows 2000 Pro or Windows 98SE. Or even Windows NT 4 I think.
