Why not use the XP 
Mode<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx> functionality 
in Win7?

Subject: [OT] Virtual machine alternatives

Folks, I'm just building a new machine for my wife. She needs Win7 as the boot 
OS and XP virtualised. I was wondering what choices I have for virtualising and 
avoiding problems with mouse jitter and video performance in the virtual OS.

I ask because early last year I had to drop VMWare Server because of mouse, 
sound and video performance problems with XP. I moved to WMWare Player and the 
sound and video problems seem to be solved.

Microsoft VM is also a contender I suppose, but I haven't used it for a couple 
of years.

What's the latest recommendation for a home user machine with Win7 and virtual 
XP?

Greg
