    Windows 7 to have an 'XP mode'


    by Ina Fried

    Microsoft is trying to make it easier to sway users of Windows XP onto the latest version of its operating system.

    For some time now, the company has been quietly building a "Windows XP mode" that uses virtualization to allow Windows 7 to easily run applications designed for Windows XP. According to sources familiar with the product, the application compatibility mode is built on the Virtual PC technology that Microsoft acquired in 2003, when it scooped up the assets of Connectix.
