Do we have rights to install Windows XP on computers which have license
for Vista?
As I know it was possible with Windows 2000 and XP. We had some
computers with license for XP but we installed 2000 on them.

If we have license for Vista Buisnes which version of XP can we install?

No, you have to have a license for XP to install XP. Vista and its
license has nothing to do with it.

If you are sick of the licensing scam, perhaps you would be interested
in Open Source. Check out [url]www.ubuntu.com[/url] or [url]www.pclinuxos.com[/url] for
operating systems that require no licensing, activation, becoming
genuine, ad nauseum.

Obviously you haven't read the answer two questions down.
I quote again:
From Microsoft's website:
Can I downgrade my OEM version of Windows

Vista Business to Windows XP Professional?Yes. OEM downgrade rights for
desktop PC operating systems apply to Windows Vista Business and
Windows Vista Ultimate as stated in the License Terms. Please note, OEM
downgrade versions of Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista Ultimate
are limited to Windows XP Professional (including Windows XP Tablet PC
Edition and Windows XP x64 Edition). End users can use the following
media for their downgrade: Volume Licensing media (provided the end
user has a Volume Licensing agreement), retail (FPP), or system builder
hologram CD (provided the software is acquired in accordance with the
Microsoft OEM System Builder License). Use of the downgraded operating
system is governed by the Windows Vista Business License Terms, and the
end user cannot use both the downgrade operating system and Windows
Vista Business. There are no downgrade rights granted for Windows Vista
Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium.
