Please explain how having a VM of XP could somehow be worse than a physical machine you only provide speculation without any basis for it. This is true of most VMs, so I don't agree with your implication that XP mode is 'more' than a VM. Sorry for the slow response ended up getting a migraine from allergies. Trying to get the software run natively on the secure and still support operating system is always the better option - since this avoids running a version of an unsupported and unsecure OS. Would that be feasible with most productivity software still in use today? Almost certainly not. Is it possible to run individual programs completely locked down and sandbox in Windows Virtual PC? Yeah, absolutely. Now please tell me what's 'FUD' (what a terrible misuse of the term, I have no agenda that would warrant this) about all of that? This would be as, if not less secure than running the software in question on a PC running XP within the same network. The legacy software in question will most likely either require exchanging files with the network and/or host PC or Internet/network connectivity, possibly both. I am however, unable to find information about the 'Windows Virtual PC' support lifetime in general, as part of 'XP Mode' its support also ends April 8th. XP Mode is little more than Windows XP running in Microsoft's Virtual PC - both legacy products.

That includes virtual installations of the OS including XP Mode.

The absolute last resort should be a VMed XP install that is locked down and has near zero access to the outside world.

Unless we are talking about some monstrous IE6 ActiveX plugins that should simply be retired by now it should, most of the time, be possible to get them running in compatibility mode or with some manual tweaks (e.g. There are very few XP programs that can't be made to run on Windows 7. XP mode should be an absolutely last resort and generally avoided if at all possible. While it's possible to 'lock down' the VM by restricting access, that may very well interfere with the use of the applications the XP mode was used for in the first place. Running programs in XP mode is just as bad as having an XP powered system in your local network, if not worse - it's simply something you don't want to do after April 8th. as well as limited write support to the host machine. XP mode has network and Internet access, access to USB hardware and storage etc. While your answer is partly correct (XP mode is little more than a VM) the conclusion ('will not be affected in windows 7') is wrong.
