  • free of charge to Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate users

      ...so, it is not really "free"... you gotta have a top tier W7 edition... again this hits the budget-minded XP user hard.
  • Even hardware that works with older operating systems and won't work with Windows 7 will work with Windows XP mode. It's a major advancement

      ...let me see if I have this right... the XP mode will run on hardware that W7 won't run on... then how the hell do you install W7 to get the XP mode?
  • With XP Mode installed, users will never need to worry about the compatibility of their software or accessories again -- everything will work.

      will work... provided you have a PC with the horsepower to run both W7 and XP mode... so will just leaving XP as your OS.

  • application released for a Windows operating system over the past decade will work with Windows 7

      ...but not every PC manufactured in the past decade will be able to run W7... so budget wise, I gotta buy W7 *and* a new PC to run my XP apps. I don't see a need to change (other than to build MSFT's coffers... and that is not one of my business objectives).

  • Microsoft for its part told XP users last month (MAY) that if they are just starting to test Vista that they should switch to Windows 7.

      How does this make W7 a better choice than Vista?
  • generally happy.
    • John Lundin

      maybe happy, but much poorer because of the need to update all their XP apps and retire all the older PCs that do not have the horsepower....
  • With both Windows 7 (the host operating system) and XP (guest) running on a single machine, users will be forced to maintain and patch two operating systems per desktop.

  • XP Mode is likely a one- to two-year Band-Aid.

W7 XP migration

shared by John Lundin on 29 May 09 - Cached
  • "If you are on XP, Windows 7 isn't going to solve a lot of Vista's migration problems," says Brett Waldman, a research analyst for IDC. "Going from Vista to Windows 7 should be a much easier transition than XP to 7."

      ...W7 is not the solution for XP migration path... it is almost like MSFT is bifurcating back to the old w98 // NT days... Why can't MSFT extend XP rather than repackage Vista??
  • The predominant migration questions among those coming off XP are "when" and "how."
  • "What we are saying is that by the end of 2012 you should be off XP," says Michael Silver, vice president and research director at Gartner.

  • how long it will take to get all their XP desktops to Windows 7 before XP support runs out or before application vendors quit producing XP versions of upgrades or new software
    • John Lundin
      John Lundin on 02 Jun 09
       
      ....or even after MSFT pulls support of XP (after all the XP mode is XP SP3... and they will have to support that mode while W7 is operational)...
  • Gartner predicts that more than half of the corporate Windows user-base is skipping Vista and aiming at Windows 7
  • it doesn't mean they will avoid the application compatibility issues that gave Vista a black eye
