But that is in no way "getting OE on Windows 7" as you claim.

Since OE would be transparent in XP Mode (i.e., it looks just like any other
program that you run on Windows 7), it is "on* Windows 7. That's the point
of WVPC to make those virtualized apps look seamless in the desktop UI.

If you think that virtualization means an app is not "on" an OS then explain
how all these years users never considered WOWEXEC (Windows on Windows to
support 16-bit apps on 32-bit Windows) as separate of the OS. WOW gave you
remapping of the system API to support older apps. Windows 7 has its WOW64
to do the same. WOW provides a seamless mode of executing those old apps.
XP Mode is just another means of making seamless what you get under Windows
XP.
