 		 #184336 - Gotcha on XP VM on Win7
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The virtual XP machine on Windows 7 Professional seems pretty good, but the VM is often recognised as a new machine which means you may need another license for any software you install on it. This certainly applies to MS Office!!

You may wonder why anyone would install software on Win7 and on the XP virtual machine, but the XP file system is also virtualised, so it can be tedious to operate on data files in XP and in Win7.
