Hi All,
I need to buy a laptop urgently. All of the best laptops I selected are available now with Windows 7 only. But I wan't run older applications which were running in Windows XP 32 bit & can't take any risks as this will be my primary system. Please let me know how I can proceed further. Is there anyone who are able to use Windows 7-64 bit with XP compatibility mode/virtual pc to run older versions of softwares like hyperlynx, cadstar 8.0, allegro 16.2, orcad 9.0 etc as smoothly as it runs in windows xp professional? Please help me.

Regards,
MKSNG

Downloads - VirtualBox
 

I use the windows XP mode fuction at work and currently have no major issues with it. The only problem I had was installing software, I needed to copy the install files to the virtual drive and run them.

Hope that Helps
