Workaround at best, but not solution
XP Mode, as has been pointed out here in these replies, is not a reliable solution for all legacy application utilization issues for windows 7 adopters. It is merely a workaround for SOME situations, and usually a clumsy workaround at that. Many, even new/current, and particularly Intel processors are not compatible with XP Mode and other questions arise as to how suitable this workaround is in many corporate hardware and software environments. I think XP Mode is going to prove to be more dream than promised reality.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. Come back and read this post two years from now and see what I am warning you about.
