When it was first leaked out that Windows 7 would have Windows XP mode for full backward compatibility, many assumed that Windows seven was going to be shipped with a fully functioning Windows XP running among of a virtual machine.
In Vista, you'll be able to run Windows XP with Virtual PC 2007. However, Virtual PC 2007 has been criticized for being inefficient and slow because it had to pass each hardware decision through the host OS. It is natural to assume that Windows XP Mode is just a selling gimmick supposed to convince the shoppers that Windows 7 will not be stricken by serious compatibility problems that Windows Vista has come to be known for.
Clearly it's convenient to be able to use your legacy programs alongside newer Windows seven applications. You can run older applications directly through the Windows XP GUI. You do this by installing legacy application in Windows XP virtual machine. If you want to run older Windows XP programs in the Windows 7 GUI, you should sign off of the Win XP Mode, and close the virtual machine. If you do not exit, you will get a pop-up saying that you have a alternative of either running the virtualized application or opening the virtual machine. Virtualized programs take a little longer to load than programs that are put in natively in Windows 7; even therefore, you won’t see noticeable differences between opening a native application and gap a virtual application. As a matter of fact, you'd be arduous pressed to tell if an application is a virtualized application (put in inside the Windows XP mode).
By default, the Windows XP Mode desires 256 MB of RAM, but the RAM and different computer resources that are required by the Windows XP Mode are adjustable. It's currently possible to use a Ctrl + Alt + Delete request directly within Windows XP Mode window while not using any menus.

Windows XP Mode now additionally has USB device access for guest OS, which highly improve its versatility and usefulness.
