Will HP provide downgrade licenses to Windows 7 when Windows 8 is released?

When Windows Vista was released, most computer manufactures had the option to downgrade the OS from Vista to XP on new PC purchases. Will HP offer a similar option for a downgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7 when Windows 8 is released?

Hi,

This kind of option would have to be first proposed by Microsoft.

The order was the same with Vista.

7 drivers from hp for shipped hp 8 boxes will be the issue, not the OS.
