Hi
I have been reading around and it seems as if the Home Premuim verison of Windows 7 will not come the XP compatability mode to run older programmes is this correct?

yes its correct, youd need at least Professional for that to be included.
I believe the following versions support it; Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise.
Wizkid: in light of the fact there is 5 million people viewing this section of the forum currently waiting for an RTM release, maybe a slight thread title edit would do no harm :)
Not entirely correct, It doesn't come with XP mode, which is simply an additional XP license that you can run under virtual pc. If you have a valid XP license still, you can use that and download virtual pc (it is free).
Compatiblity mode is the ability to run certain applications directly under Windows 7, by making a program believe the OS is at version X, (like vista SP2, or XP Sp3 for instance). That will still be possible.
Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I cant edit the title mods need to do this or is there away I can do this?
Most of my programmes run in vista compatabilty mode ok. So there should hopefully be no problem just wondered about XP.
