Windows XP Mode to be available for download

So has this been released yet? I understood that it was also to be released today.

Yes its out, see here for download details - Download Windows Virtual PC Beta and XP Mode Beta

Hi,

I am kind of afraid to ask this because it maybe a very stupid question. If I have Virtual XPM, I imagine I need to use it with an antivirus with Xp and another for W7. Or, could I use the W7 when I use XPM. Is it possible to install Norton internet security in XPM and scan W7?

Thanks

You have to install an AV on both system.
The XP under XP Mode is a separate environment. Each system need it's own AV.

Allan, okay, that's not telling me much. No problem though, let's try a different approach. Which model of laptop do you have?

Win7User512, just saying he's wrong about all 7xxx Core2's supporting virtualization. Some of them do support it just fine.

Acer Aspire 5685WLMi

Allan,
From what I see your laptop has a Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor. I looked on Intel website it they are showing the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 processor to support:
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)
Intel® 64 Execute Disable Bit

Looks like you qualify.:)
