SuperSite for Windows have revealed an intriguing and awesome Windows 7 feature: Dubbed Windows XP Mode (XPM), a virtualized copy of Windows XP with Service Pack 3. It will be a free download for Professional and Ultimate Edition users, too bad it won't be coming to all versions. Unlike many other Virtual PC options, the environment won't require a separate workspace so you can run the individual apps as you would alongside those native to 7.
In the screenshot example pictured above, you'll see Windows XP Mode running Word 2003 next to Word 2007 under Windows 7. It looks similar to the XP compatibility mode found in Vista, which means XPM should make legacy compatibility much less of a hassle. No reports of it being found in the leaked Release Candidate build, but if you want to have more of it, hit up this link to Supersite community for more.
