I didn't mean to talk you out of what you had decided, any of them
will do just fine.
What the phrase you asked about means is that certain versions of
Vista, aimed at business customers, have a guaranteed "downgrade"
license for Windows XP Pro. Since most corporations are very slow to
change OS versions, they know that even though they want people to use
Vista, its not going to happen overnight for most companies so to stay
within their policies, they will need the capability to use XP.
Its not a well-known option but those who do know usually take MS up
on it and "downgrade".
