| 768580 | 2009-04-26 09:38:00 | To be honest, I don't care if it isn't offered in the home versions, as the only program I'd be likely to run under that is ten years old, and is already on my netbook. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 768581 | 2009-04-26 09:42:00 | I wonder whether the key will be tied to a particular version of XP - i.e. in the same way that some keys are tied to a particular OEM version? OH the decisions :waughh: - this is going to be "interesting" :lol: Seems its going to be a download from M$ (XPM) - But I also wonder if it will look for the approximate product key (Professional, Ultimate OR Enterprise) and only install on those versions. Make Mental Note: Try XPM on W7 lower versions when available :p |

So that Windows XP Mode is going to be somthing that maybe a lot of people might want or maybe get the cheapest version of Win 7 for DX 11 and dual boot with your old xp. :thanksSomebody:thumbs: |

| 768587 | 2009-04-26 11:27:00 | I think it's going to be mainly redundant actually (if cool :D), except for legacy business applications or very old software. I think it's great the way it's been integrated though. There are very few applications (I've found) that do not run on Vista or Windows 7. Have a read of this tweet (twitter.com) of mine - it gives some perspective as to how old XP is... |

| 768588 | 2009-04-26 14:21:00 | I think I will stay with XP for my games and Linux for all the modern fancy cool stuff for FREE!!! Reason being I dont want DRM and HDCP that is in Vista and Win 7. |
