This is sounding like a pretty big deal. I've heard podcasts talking about this sort of technology that was going to be used in the next version of Windows Server, but to have it in Windows 7 will be great.

I run virtual machines in Vista and run my legacy programs there, but it's another window I have to have open on my desktop. This new virtual XP mode will run seamlessly within the OS from the sounds of it.

As they're going to include a fully licenced copy of XP SP3 for use in this virtual application it will be a no-brainer for corporations looking to upgrade. Windows 7 is looking more appealing all the time.
