I work with enterprise-level clients, and virtualization has been available for years to launch your XP applications under Vista if really needed. Our clients didn't update to Vista mainly because of costs vs benefits and drivers issues.
I'm asking what's new in this solution, because the devil is in the details.
What happens of the Windows XP virtualized registry vs the Win 7 registry? What about user rights? What about hardware access?
Just saying that you can launch an XP application in a virtualized XP environment and this won't touch your host OS is nothing new.

Maybe nothing, but in terms of weaning enterprise level clients off XP, this was one of the reasons...Don't know if it was universal, but this looks to be a move in the right direction.  That is, making it easy to port your old software...for example, my guys use alot of autocad full version, and the cost are astronomical, so having to buy all new stuff would be painful as shit...there are several other examples.  Also, I have a Gateway FX (Using right now to type this message), and it pisses me off, since the darn computer didn’t' want to play nice with me running XP.  So, if this had existed and was easily done, I should be able to install 7, and run my XP stuff, np.  Now, you're right, we need more details, but so far so good, imho.
