Windows Xp Mode RC released

 Windows Xp Mode RC released

You might have seen before back in April Microsoft had released Windows Xp Mode or formerly called as Virtual XP Mode or XPM,now its finally out of Beta and made available.XP Mode is a way to provide compatibility in Windows 7.XPM is built on Microsoft’s Virtual PC 7 basis,which requires  virtualization supported(VT) processors.

Windows 7 has a strong compatibility story with Windows Vista,and many applications that currently run on Windows XP-based or Windows Vista-based PCs should just run natively on Windows 7 –allowing you to take advantage of better performance, better management and better security built into Windows 7 says Brandon Leblanc.

Windows XP Mode is specially designed for small and medium-sized businesses to help ease the migration process to Windows 7 by providing additional compatibility for their older productivity applications. The newly updated Windows XP Mode now works with the RC and RTM versions of the Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise SKUs.Users can run and launch Windows XP productivity applications in Windows XP Mode directly from a Windows 7 desktop.

Changes from Beta to RC

  • Can now attach USB devices to Windows XP Mode applications directly from the Windows 7 task-bar. This means your USB devices, such as printers and flash drives, are available to applications running in Windows XP Mode, without the need to go into full screen mode.
  • Can now access Windows XP Mode applications with a "jump-list". Right click on the Windows XP Mode applications from the Windows 7 task bar to select and open most recently used files.
  • Flexibility of customizing where Windows XP Mode differencing disk files are stored.
  • Can now disable drive sharing between Windows XP Mode and Windows 7 if your not using it.
  • A new user tutorial about how to use Windows XP Mode at the start up.

My processor supports VT so as before i am gonna give it a try.You can Download XP Mode RC from Virtual PC site.
