XP Mode vs DOSBox?
Hello, all. I'm kind of a newbie to Windows 7 and virtualization software, so I hope this isn't too stupid. I've been Googling around, but haven't really found much that satisfactorily addresses my question.
From an end-user perspective, what's the functional difference between XP Mode and something like DOSBox?
I get the impression that it's not a matter of one being better than the other or a matter of preference, but rather a matter of being different tools for different jobs.
That said, I'm not really clear on what each one is good for. Could somebody please explain what XP Mode would be appropriate for and what something like DOSBox would be appropriate for?
Thanks,
