Windows XP mode under Windows 7 requires a machine which supports hardware
virtualization.

Windows Virtual PC 2007 will also run under Windows 7, but /you/ provide and
install the copy of Windows XP in the virtual machine to run it - This is
how I am running Windows XP in a virtual machine on my Dell Precision M65
under Windows 7 Pro, since it does not support hardware virtualization.

The "Virtual XP" is Windows 7's "XP Mode". It's a special Virtual
Machine of Windows XP that runs inside of Microsoft Virtual PC on Windows

FYI, according to the Microsoft link provided: "You must have Windows 7
*Professional*, *Enterprise*, or *Ultimate *to run Windows XP Mode." Of
course, most businesses will have one of these versions, but some
companies like get cheap laptops, etc that come preloaded with Home
Premium...just something to be aware of.
