Totally not NT-related, but maybe someone can answer.

We're using the Windows XP Mode feature on a Windows 7 machine to run an app 
that doesn't play nice with Win7. It mostly works, but with one problem: The 
app behaves differently depending on who we're logged into the host computer as.

I'm sure I'm totally misunderstanding how XP Mode works, but I don't get how 
this is possible. I wouldn't think it would matter who you were logged into the 
HOST machine as-only who you were logged into the GUEST machine as. And the way 
it looks to me is that there's a special account on the guest machine 
("xpmuser") that's used by everyone who accesses the VM, regardless of what 
they're logged into the host machine as. So theoretically, no matter who's 
logged into the host, they should see the exact same thing in the guest. But 
not so.

Why for?
