It allows you to run programs that can't run under Windows 7 natively. What
happens is that you download two components, Windows Virtual PC and a
virtual machine running XP SP3. What happens next is that you start this
virtual machine, then, on your Windows 7 start menu you'll see applications
that come with XP, such as IE6, Outlook Express, etc. What then happens is
that the application runs, silently, inside this virtual machine, but
actually appears and functions on your Windows 7 desktop. Once you've closed
the application, the virtual machine also closes. At least that's how I
interpret this anyway. The feature is called XP mode. You can only use this,
however, on higher versions of Windows, and your PC must support either
Intel virtualization or the equivalent for AMD processors. Hope this helps.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Window 7 inquiry
I was just reading something on the Internet. They said that Windows 7
Home Premium is not going to come with that XP Virtue feature. My
question is, " What is that feature really used for anyway?".
