No, it's a Virtual Machine. So really, you could get VMWare and create your own XP Mode if you really wanted to, but that's not necessary thanks to Microsoft creating it for us.
Thank you but I was wondering if XP Mode its self will be supported as XP will not after April 2014.
Yeah, it's just a virtual machine. It's not Windows XP. That's what I was trying to say. It's like, I dunno, it's hard to explain.
Maybe I'm not understanding XP Mode enough. Does it get Windows Updates that are specific to Windows XP?
You're welcome, but I'm still wondering: does Windows Update work in XP Mode? Do you get XP-specific updates?
It's just a VM so should get updates in just the same way as a physical copy.
Ok, so then just to be clear for Stephanie's sake: this means that XP Mode has the same support deadline.
