XP application on Windows 7, Application compatibility is one of most users face difficult challenges when migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. Fortunately, Microsoft provides a number of solutions, including the XP mode. This week, as part of my ongoing series of major changes in security, I will focus on Windows 7 XP mode.
I must add that I had planned to discuss both the XP mode and AppLocker this week, but I do not skimp on the offense, or both in a single post. I am going to discuss last week. In addition, as I share, I am a full time employee of Microsoft.

XP mode is only an option for dealing with app compatibility problems that may occur when you started Windows 7. Microsoft does offer an excellent Application Compatibility Toolkit to solve problems and resolve compatibility problems, but many agencies lack the expertise or time to investigate every little problem. Otherwise, you can find an application that works with Windows XP does not work with Windows 7.
Enter XP mode, available for the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7, including a free, downloadable virtual copy licensed Windows XP Service Pack 3. This is a pre-packaged VHD (virtual hard disk) that self-starting entries, although this feature can be disabled. When applications are installed in XP mode, they appear as standalone applications in Windows 7, appears in the menu bar. You can also place them as ordinary desktop icons on the host desktop.
Most users will probably not find themselves in a certain mode app virtualization, other than the obvious, they will slow the first time after running the experiment started. It's cool to see Internet Explorer 6 to run next to Internet Explorer 8 on the same office, which is a fairly common need for application compatibility (and XP mode).
