Hi,
I am exploring Windows Virtual PC
along with XPM(Windows XP mode)
in Windows 7.
The XPM is a virtual machine package
for Windows Virtual PC. It allows
Windows XP apps to run in a virtual
environment alongside the Windows 7
apps in same desktop. The concept
of using the same desktop sounds
very interesting & good !!
XP Mode enables the ability to run many
older Windows XP business and
other applications . But what about the
earlier versions support ? I wonder the
need for XPM in Windows 7 that too
specifically w.r.t XP ?
XP Mode applications run in a
Terminal Services session in the
virtualized Windows XP, and are
accessed via Remote Desktop Protocol
by a client running on the Windows 7 host.
Is XPM just to demonstrate the usage
of same desktop for virtualization ?
Will XPM good for high end games in XP ?
How is it be rated against Vmware and
other virtualization technologies ?
How is it rated against VirtualBox ?
Will it support linux in the future upgrades ?
Any ideas ?
Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru
