Windows XP Mode
An optional add-on to the 64-bit version of Windows 7 that allows 16-bit apps that run in Windows XP to run in Win7. Windows XP Mode (XPM) can be downloaded free for Pro, Enterprise and Ultimate 64-bit Win 7 users and includes Virtual PC and a complete copy of Windows XP (SP3). Windows 7 communicates with Virtual PC and XP via Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (see RDP).

Other 64-Bit Windows
Users of 64-bit Vista and Win7 Home Versions may employ VMware, Virtual PC (free) or any other Windows desktop virtualization product along with their own copy of Windows XP. See Virtual PC, desktop virtualization and Windows 7.
