Hi Dreamweaver,
XP mode allows this. You still have to install windows xp separately, but you can place shortcuts directly on your Windows 7 desktop for your XP apps, and they will run without the user even knowing that XP Mode exists.

the feature is called seamless application launching
That makes sense, though hopefully Windows 7 can pick up applications that are used in Vista.
I am guessing that Compatibility Mode would be a better option and is also available in all Win 7 versions?
As a rule of thumb, if it works on Vista, it should work on 7 as well.
You can use this site to search for specific software and hardware that has been compatibility tested by MS:

If your app is not listed here, then it is best to contact the developer and ask if they support Windows 7.
Thanks - I will look into this.
