software. Windows XP Mode extends the lifecycle of many older Windows
XP applications to continue providing business value. Once you install
these applications directly in your Windows XP Mode environment, they
will be published to your Windows 7 desktop. With just one click, the
business user can run many Windows XP applications from a Windows 7
desktop just as if it were a Windows 7 application. There’s no  need to
re-train the user, or to re-learn the application.  Once you’ve
installed both Windows Virtual PC and the Windows XP Mode environment,
Windows Virtual PC provides a simple wizard to set up Windows XP Mode
with just a few clicks. It’s that easy!
