one thing which throws me here
is the use of 'boot from' and 'boot off'...? maybe you mean the same thing but the usage in each sentence seems to indicate a difference.
while i usually use seperate disks for this sort of testing and thus the mobo boot menu instead of testing inside another os, this isn't really relevant to me. however, some of those i support use previous windows iterations for legacy software and hardware which i must test, tho so far i've not had any need to boot to these test systems inside another os. so, the semantical and technical difference of 'from' vs 'off' in this article is strange to me....the key for me is a legacy scanner i use infrequently so xp mode in 7 is perfect, yet this aspect has yet to pan out for me in 8 as usb interfaces and xp usage is quite different in 8.
that said, as mentioned in another comment, kudos for the admission/citation on an open site...!
