You can legitimately downgrade (or upgrade) from Vista to XP at zero cost. You can phone MS and after some arguing (I know for a fact that MS NZ argued this point initially with someone I know) they will give in and provide you with a legitimate XP license key. The ability to do this is documented somewhere on their website...

They are legit copies, legit reasons to sell, and yes, he knows they should be sold with hardware and probably will throw in a power cord to satisfy the requirement. I'll foward all the discussion to him and see what he says. It is especially pertinent with people getting machines with Vista on them and they want XP (given there is simply no reason to move to Vista whatsoever).
