Windows XP Mode in Win7


Recommended Posts

Is XP mode on build 7127, and also is it just like the Compatibility Mode, or is just a seperate program?

Sorry if I would a bit hazy, I'm going through a living hell right now :|

No. It is a separate download that is currently in beta. It is never going to be part of Windows 7, it will always be a separate download for the editions that qualify. It is essentially a customized version of Virtual PC, a virtualization program. It runs a full copy of Windows XP SP3, and then you can run your old programs inside that virtual OS (at the expense of a rather hefty increase in resource use because you're now running two OSes at the same time and emulating hardware for one of them).
