Windows 7 Feature Update

Well, just about the time we thought we had it figured out! Microsoft announced that Windows XP programs that would not run on Vista will likely run on Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate (other versions will exclude XP support).

These programs will run under a new process similiar to dos support back in XP, providing a secured memory space that will allow you to run XP programs without the possibility of the application crashing Windows 7.

This is a HUGE issue for Vista users who have been marooned on "it doesnt work anymore and they dont make a Vista version!" island.

Windows 7 is looking more and more like a winner.
