Sorry, but Outlook does work natively with Windows 7. At least Outlook 2007
does. Not sure if Outlook 2003 does. Thoughts?

Good looking out Chris. Now I can better weigh out the factors when I
purchase the upgrade. See the thing with me is for me to upgrade my Jaws
license to Professional, I have to pay an additional $300. Right now, it
is not looking like it is worth it. I think I am just going to buy
Outlook since that is the only thing I would use in the virtue mode.

In theory, yes. To be honest it's really meant for businesses or
professional consumers who wish to migrate from XP to 7 without any
additional hardware or software requirements, apart from the ones listed.
It's also useful for people requiring to use software that doesn't yet
work with 7, but does work with XP. It would also save time and cost too
since the XP you download and use is a legal virtual machine (Microsoft
did design this, after all). To be honest though, even if we didn't have
the facility we could use one of the many free or paid for virtualization
solutions and create our own "xp mode". It's not the same but it's a
compromize.

OK. So does that mean that one is allowed to use Outlook Express from
Virtue Mode. Considering that Windows 7 doesn't?

It allows you to run programs that can't run under Windows 7 natively.
What happens is that you download two components, Windows Virtual PC
and a virtual machine running XP SP3. What happens next is that you
start this virtual machine, then, on your Windows 7 start menu you'll
see applications that come with XP, such as IE6, Outlook Express, etc.
What then happens is that the application runs, silently, inside this
virtual machine, but actually appears and functions on your Windows 7
desktop. Once you've closed the application, the virtual machine also
closes. At least that's how I interpret this anyway. The feature is
called XP mode. You can only use this, however, on higher versions of
Windows, and your PC must support either Intel virtualization or the
equivalent for AMD processors. Hope this helps.

I was just reading something on the Internet. They said that Windows
7 Home Premium is not going to come with that XP Virtue feature. My
question is, " What is that feature really used for anyway?".
