Windows 7 XP-Mode

XP-Mode was introduced by Microsoft to allow computer users the ability to migrate from 32 bit XP systems to the predominantly 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.

This was to allow "legacy" programs, such as DVD43, to operate on the newer 64 bit machines. What they didn't do was to explain the operation very well.

I purchased a computer that had a processor and operating system that would support XP-Mode so that I could experiment with running DVD43 in XP-Mode.
The computer was also running 64 bit Windows Professional, this was to confirm that DVD43 would not run natively. It also gave me a chance to test other virtualization solutions, other than XP-Mode, such as VirtualBox and VMWare.
