What is Windows XP Mode?

Windows XP Mode is a new benefit of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7

Ultimate and provides additional application compatibility. It allows you to

install and run many of your productivity applications for Windows XP

directly from your Windows 7-based PC. It utilizes virtualization

technology, such as Windows Virtual PC, to provide a virtual Windows XP

environment for Windows 7.

So, Yes. XP Mode is Windows XP, you use it as if it is physical hardware you

have a remote desktop connection to.

I like VMware Workstation and Virtual PC solutions because you have multiple

machines, multiple OS versions, save points to revert back to. I don't see

that as an option of XP Mode.
