It's also the most used operating system. Period. Of coarse they don't want to get rid of it! Windows XP has been pretty much perfected, in a way no other Windows really ever has.

Actually, this isn't a strange move. This is what Microsoft has always done for volume license users. I suppose the reason is that some businesses need XP for compatibility reasons. A quote from MJ Foley's article you linked to: "The spokesperson clarified later that downgrade rights allow users to install previous versions of Windows, not just the most recent predecessor. In other words, a volume-license user who wanted to downgrade from Vista could, technically, go back to Windows 2000 or even Windows 95, not just XP. Who knew?" “This is a strange move by Microsoft since Windows 7 is being highly praised for doing so well even in its beta stages.”

Microsoft isn't ready to let XP die... Why not allow a downgrade option to 3.11 For Workgroups for all the AOL using, AMD K6-2 toting abacus lovers who still believe that 32MB of RAM is sufficient? Oh lovely.
