The Windows XP Mode Beta is over and the feedback is in. The final version for Windows 7 should be available at the Microsoft Download Center on October 22nd, just in time for the Windows 7 launch.
Windows XP Mode is aimed to provide small and mid-sized businesses who have upgraded to Windows 7 Professional or higher the ability to run Windows XP productivity applications that may not be fully compatible with Windows 7. Many Windows XP applications are already compatible Windows 7 , and the added security of the new OS can provide businesses to upgrade to Windows 7 without any major worries.
Here is a list of some features they have incorporated into Windows XP Mode based on feedback from users who tested the beta.
- You 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.
- You 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.
- You now have the flexibility of customizing where Windows XP Mode differencing disk files are stored.
- You can now disable drive sharing between Windows XP Mode and Windows 7 if you do not need that feature.
- The initial setup now includes a new user tutorial about how to use Windows XP Mode.
