Apparently Win7 will include a downloadable virtual environment and a complete, fully licensed copy of XP. The environment runs on the Win7 desktop, so there's no need to start a separate desktop for programs that require XP.
The real significance of this is that it allows MS to start cleaning deadwood out of Windows. There's a ton of stuff that's in there just for compatibility reasons and, since anyone will be able to quickly access XP, MS can start getting rid of it. http://tinyurl.com/dg22sm http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/xp_mode_pre_shots.asp ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
