Downgrade rights - install 2003 w/2010 volume license?

[£Jim]

Hi,
If I buy Office 2010 Pro Plus volume licenses can I install Office 2003
Pro Plus with them or only Office 2007 Pro Plus? Got a link to
Microsoft page explaining downgrade rights?
Thanks

Thank you, I had not found the most recent version of that document. So
the answer is "yes":
"Downgrade rights in the Volume Licensing programs provide customers
with the right to downgrade to any prior version of the same product."

Please read the section on "Downgrade Rights Chart" for more
information for your scenario.
