Machines which CAN run XP mode
I skimmed this part of the forum & see mostly complaints about people who CAN'T run XP mode on their Windows 7 machines. I really wish people would report their success with specifics, such as make & model, to guide others who haven't yet bought anything. Manufacturers, sellers and reviewers don't mention this either, so it is very hard to determine if a machine CAN run XP mode. Just a compatible CPU is not enough, so you can't count on that.
A friend of mine recently acquired an Acer 5430-6670 with Win 7 Pro on it. He was able to run in XP mode without any problems.
None of the sellers advertising this product mention this capability.
