Microsoft Download Center, October 22 -- add that to your already-busy Windows 7 release party itinerary. That'll be the quickest and most painless way to enrich your hot new OS with the now finalized code for XP Mode, a virtualized Windows XP environment for those who just can't let go of their legacy software. The solitary hitch is that you'll need to have purchased a copy of Windows 7 Professional or higher to get in on the fun, but you already knew that, right? Oh, and you might also want to check that your hardware manufacturer hasn't disabled virtualization as part of some overzealous security / party-pooping measure.

I'd say 1/2. 2000 was meh, XP was great, Vista was bad, 7 is [should say looking good]. The first Zune was rubbish but the second was a major improvement. The HD seems to top it though.

The 1/3 is almost a cliche now.. I hear so many techies/bloggers saying it now .

Why they removed the start menu, I'll never know. XP for life baby.

The only thing I wish they had not done on 7 was changed the little orb where the start menu is. I preferred the Vista one where it was a touch taller than the task bar. Now the 7 one is smaller.

It will but..

Are there games that run on XP but don't run well on Vista, and you don't expect them to run well on Windows 7? Don't expect XP Mode to help.

I hear it's really targeted for business.

Why would the headline claim it to be a free download?
