Ed Bott: For any sort of upgrade, software or hardware, compatibility issues can be true deal-breakers. If a mission-critical program originally written for Windows XP won’t run under Windows 7, you’re stuck. And the economics can get ugly if an expensive or hard-to-replace peripheral doesn’t have Windows 7 drivers. In this week’s screencast, I demonstrate a new feature called Windows XP Mode, which is Microsoft’s way of handling compatibility problems.
