I have Home edition and I can't install the "real" XP mode.

I've used this VM from within both Windows and Ubuntu. It makes a great "in-between" OS.

Btw this uses Virtual Box which is available for multiple platforms.

Also: If you have Windows 7, you are entitled to an XP Mode license.

Only if using Pro or Ultimate.

Otherwise, no you are not entitled to it.

In those cases, you have Virtual PC to power it anyway.

I think it can download the XP Mode vhd from Microsoft's server and use this. You don't need to have a license for Windows xp. But this is illegal because you haven't paid for the XP Mode license.

Install it before Microsoft shutdown their site. :devil:
