Why would somebody pay a premium for Windows 7 which can't do everything that XP does? On top of that, there is speculation that Microsoft will only allow three concurrent applications to run on the base model of Windows 7 Starter edition.ĭon't get me wrong, I've tried Windows 7 and it runs very well, especially when you compare it to Vista. It seems that Microsoft is happy selling Windows XP for $15 a pop. They can run XP on VMWare on top of Windows 7 if they choose, but the question still remains: Why run Windows 7 at all? Most, if not all, netbooks won't be able to run Windows 7 and then XP mode on top of that. Netbooks are far and away the fastest growing area of PCs and will be for the foreseeable future. Another interesting quandary: If Windows XP is so important, and Windows 7 can only replicate it in a VM, why not just run Windows XP natively? XP mode is only supported on higher-end Intel chips and with top-end Microsoft Windows 7 OS products.
