Do you expect people to click a link that does not indicate where it is
going? A bit.ly link can point to anything....including a malware
site. Please use the actual microsoft.com link when posting. Thanks
for understanding.

Virtual PC is the best idea.

XP Mode as I recall only works with Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and
Enterprise, and requires particular processors AND BIOS support, as well
as the memory requirements. AMD's list of processors is
straightforward, but Intel's list is a grab bag of worms.

How many Intel CPUs will fail the XP Mode test in Windows 7?

I'll bet you're Microsoft Client Team. Wouldn't click on that URL for
anything.

For those of you hesitant of clicking an external link to which you can
not verify the domain -- I completely understand.

The un-shortened URL for more information on XP Mode and Virtual PC is
as follows:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

Also, Glen -- you are correct -- XP Mode which requires Virtual PC does
also require hardware support and Windows Professional or above. Most
computers within the past year to year and a half should have
processors that support virtualization.

You don't have to; there's a Firefox plugin that tells you where the
link would take you. Of course, that comes from bit.ly
