Win 7... Win XP Mode?

Quote from DeeDeeTwo:


In Win 7 Virtual Machine XP Mode...
ANYTHING that will run on XP...
Will now run forever on all future releases of Windows...
This is truly brilliant on the part of MSFT.

This is similar to doing character-cell terminal emulation in Windows environment so the old COBOL programs can run forever... :)
 
I have 10 floppy's that have a program used previousely with XP. I now have W 7 Home. I was thinking I can have the floppy's put to disk...........but can I get the disk to play on W7 home?

Thanks,
Ron
 
Can't speak to the particular program. I don't have a floppy drive to verify with, but XP mode works with your W 7 drives as network share emulations. If you want to install from a floppy, I bet that it will work. If the program needs to run from the floppy (security key or something,) then I doubt it will work. Many programs work just fine under Windows 7 (better than Vista.) Main impediment is lack of 16-bit executable support. Probably best to Google about the particular program.
