Re: [H] Windows XP Mode
I have used them, but not that way. I think the licence would be like an OEM channel one and be tied to the virtualized hardware in the MS XPMode VM. I'm guessing it would know it was somewhere else, and want to be activated. Let us know how well I guessed.

Re: [H] Windows XP Mode
VMware will import XP mode from MS but in order to get XP you have to first install MS VM and XP. VMware will create a link clone but you can make a full clone after and it will no longer be a link clone. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Sunday, January 10, 2010 12:47 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Windows XP Mode I run Windows 7 PRO 64bit which means I am entitled to download a free Windows XP to use with Virtual PC.
