| This is simply the next version of Virtual PC which adds native host OS integration (removes the desktop and start menu/taskbar from the guest OS). This should in an ideal scenario work with any OS, esp Vista, but Microsoft is trying to sell if off as an exclusive Windows 7 feature for business reasons. VMWare Workstation 6.5 released in September 2008 aleady does this (called Unity mode instead of XP Mode) and isn't locked for Windows 7 hosts and Windows XP guests. Sadly, THIS WON'T GIVE ME BACK THE FEATURES REMOVED FROM WINDOWS VISTA OR WINDOWS 7 WITH NATIVE INTEGRATION. Users will still have to manage and patch this "Virtual XP". |

This is a brilliant move.
#1 Huh? |

| #1 you forgot that you actually get XP with it, which you don't with VMware, OBVIOUSLY. |

#1 VirtualBox does that too (it's called "seamless mode") and it's 100% free, unlike VMWare Workstation.
You do have to buy XP as #3 pointed. |

| Great. Now you have TWO instances of Windows to worry about. Better save your pennies for the two AV packages you'll need, as well as two anti-malware suites, double the patch maintenance concerns... Maybe now's the time to buy some Symantec or McAfee stock. |
