With a feature called Windows XP Mode, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) will be using virtualization to let Windows 7 customers run applications designed for older versions of Windows without having to worry about incompatibility, the company said late Friday.
Software incompatibility caused many headaches upon the release of Windows Vista, contributing to Vista's poor initial reception and pushing back deployment for a large majority of companies, many of which have continued downgrading newly delivered PCs to Windows XP. Windows XP Mode is clearly aimed at ameliorating those concerns vis-a-vis Windows 7.
