its out since yesterday, however there is no MS XP VHD image avilable. This is only part 1 from 3 of XPM.

well you can grab this and keep spaming link, so you can check on your own when its avilable :) or maybe it will be "avilable" today from russians that leaked this one, no idea.

This is not only usable for XPM mode, this is also whole VirtualPC for Win7, so you can create your own Virtual Machines, however im beting most of people are using VMware or VirtualBox for this.

sys requirements for XP Mode in Windows 7 RC

• A CPU that has true chip-level virtualization from Intel or AMD.

• 2GB of RAM minimum.

• While XP Mode will be a free download for buyers of Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, and Windows 7 Ultimate, you will need a licensed copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3

I downloaded that link from gulshan and installed the kb update. It installed two links in startup to virtual pc but the link says you must download it and takes you to https://www.microsoft.com/windows/vi...c/default.aspx where there is no download for win7.
