If you’re thinking seriously about making a move from Windows XP to
Windows 7, but have concerns about application compatibility,
Windows 7 Activation, Microsoft has the answer: XP Mode.
This free add-on provides a virtual XP operating system that runs inside
Windows 7,
Office Standard 2007 Key, effectively giving you the best of both worlds. And right now, you can take the XP Mode Release Candidate for a test drive.
You can also see it in action in this soundless but demonstrative video:
As you may have noticed, Microsoft runs a little XP Mode tutorial while the software is installing, which I find very smart.
In fact,
Office Professional 2010, I find the whole concept of XP Mode (which is really just a reworked and rebranded version of the classic Virtual PC) quite brilliant. Many businesses shunned Vista due to problems (either perceived or real) with application compatibility. XP Mode all but eliminates those problems. And it’ll be free for
Windows 7 Professional,
Office Home And Student 2010 Key, Ultimate,
Office 2010 Professional Key, and Enterprise users.
So what do you think? Does this make you more likely to make the move to
Windows 7? (If not, tell us why.)
