Windows 7 is winding its way to retail, and one of the features offered to users of Windows 7 Professional (or better) is the so called Windows XP Mode. The XPM client virtualizes a copy of Windows XP within Windows 7 and allows users to run applications installed to that VM without any sign of the virtual host. Well, it just so happens that XPM has reached release candidacy with a raft of swank features, but here are a few that are worth a look:
- Publish and launch applications installed on virtual Windows XP directly from the Windows 7 desktop, as if they were installed on the Windows 7 host itself.
- Cut and paste between your Windows 7 host and any virtual machine.
- Print directly to your attached printer from your seamless application or virtual machine.
