Win 7 Pro "comes with" a license for Windows XP. At least I didn't have
to enter a license when I created the WinXP virtual computer on the Win
7 Pro boxes. You do have to go through some kind of "validation" process
with Windows 7 Pro to confirm that it is a valid license before you are
allowed to download the virtual computer setup file(s).

I've had some success running an old Clipper DOS app in DOSBox.
Might be worth looking into as it's more integrated into the OS and
won't require a XP license.
This wasn't in a production environment, I just needed to restore a
backup that used a proprietry format.

Microsoft is ending all support for XP on April 14, 2014. There will be
no more security updates which is the biggest single immediate issue for
current users. There are some experts who believe that it will not be more
than a few days before all XP systems are seriously exposed.
I would like to know how this will affect current users of the various
versions on FoxPro/Visual FoxPro.
1. I know that Fox 2.6 and earlier will not run on Windows 7 and 8.
2. Are there any version of VFP that will not run?
Are any of you planning on advising your current customers of this
development? If so, what will you be recommending?
Thanks
