Windows XP integrated in Windows 7

Windows XP... The end ? No, never !

Written by Enigmatux on 27 April 2009 at 11h10 Source The Windows Blog

In a few days, exactly April 30th, the Release Candidate of Windows 7, the operating system of Microsoft, will be available for download by MSDN and TechNet subscribers (public availability will begin on May 5th) and Microsoft announced that they have integrated in Windows 7 a feature Windows XP Mode (XPM).

Specifically designed to help businesses move smoothly to Windows 7, Windows XP Mode runs using the Virtual PC technology. Thus, many applications designed for Windows XP can be installed and runned without risk of incompatibility on a PC with Windows 7 and a processor based virtualization.

Available for Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate, all information will be accessible directly from the desktop of Windows 7.

We look forward to the first tests of this virtualization of Windows XP in Windows 7, notably to see if the performance will be there.

Wait and see !

Cool idea from Microsoft. However, some people don't like the idea, because they think you actually buy XP again. I don't agree with that.

By the way, I think Microsoft should change the interface of Office 2007 in Seven. I do not like the glassy interface around it. Like in XP, they should make that colour the same as the rest of the Office interface!

Maybe that comes with Office 14
