What is Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode?
Virtual PC 2007 (and its successor, Windows Virtual PC) is a program that allows an emulated Operating System environment to be run on your existing Operating System. Your installed OS is considered the 'Host,' and the Virtual OS is called the 'Guest.' Virtual PC is a useful program for attaining Legacy support for applications that do not run natively on your Host Operating System. In Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 7, Virtual PC is integrated into the Host OS, allowing Legacy programs of the Guest OS to run seamlessly. This is called 'Windows XP Mode.'
