Actually you can run legacy software in Windows XP! Create a shortcut to the program and
right click on the icon go to properties then compatibility. You can choose Windows 95, Windows 98/ME, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. The only thing that Windows XP does not support is DOS programs. Try it out and you will see for yourself.
