Hi Dallas, Thanks. I stand corrected about it coming preinstalled with Pro/Ultimate, but like we've both said the option is available for those who need it. Although, I've heard unless you have a pretty high-end system the XP virtual machine runs slow. So unfortunately that is a potential problem with running a vm like that.
Now, as for myself I have VMWare Player installed on my Toshiba laptop with a Windows XP Home and a Ubuntu 11.0-4 Linux virtual machine installed. So for me I can really get my cake and eat it too as I have three operating systems I can switch between using VMWare. I have Win 7 as the host, Windows XP for older games and applications, and Ubuntu Linux for Linux applications and development. Its the only way to go when running a PC where you need more than the host operating system has to offer. One thing is for sure it makes this whole argument about backwards compatibility a pretty mute point. Cheers!
