Windows 7 ready for Windows XP mode
Posted October 2, 2009 – 13:20 in: Silivrenion, syndicatedMicrosoft announced yesterday that their new Windows XP mode is ready to hit manufacturing now, and will come about online via an update on October 22.
Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 helps people who run software that was designed for XP run on Windows 7 in its original shell. Microsoft reports that any software that ran on Windows Vista will run correctly on 7, but Windows XP mode is provided as a last resort type of option for customers that must retain compatibility at all costs.
Windows XP mode utilizes some of the old Connectix Virtual PC technology that Microsoft acquired to include a Virtual Machine at the core of Windows 7.
