For some strange reason we cannot seem to get the download started for the RTM version of Windows 7’s Windows XP Mode.
Here are the direct download links:
- Windows XP Mode (EXE)
- Windows Virtual PC x86 (MSU)
- Windows Virtual PC x64 (MSU)
The download page is here:
While Windows XP Mode will certainly deal with the issue of needing to run legacy applications on or under Windows 7, it is far from the best answer.
We have had a need to implement XP Mode for our accounting firm clients due to the need to run a lot of applications that are just not coded for the Windows Vista/7 platform.
As a result, we have some first-hand experience. We will leave those experiences for another post. Suffice it to say that XP Mode will work, but it may not be a very satisfactory solution in the long run.
