Vista downgrade

You are absolutely correct! OS choice should be the consumer's choice, not a monopolistic company in Redmond. Computer manufacturers should be allowed to ship PCs with no OS pre-installed. That is exactly the reason I build my own, for myself and friends. That is also one of the reasons I run Linux, as I am able to run the highest hardware requirement version on the same box as a minimalistic version without any loss in performance.
