A few days ago, I asked you if you use Windows 7’s XP Mode. Thank you to those who took part in the poll. Here’s what you said:

What Did I Learn from This?

I learned a lot from this poll and I’m glad I asked the question. Specifically, I learned that a lot of you use XP Mode (even in the home) and I also learned that a lot of you don’t know what XP mode is.

What’s Next?

Expect to see some guides in the near future on the following (subject to change) topics:

What is XP Mode?
How to improve performance when using XP Mode.
How to share files between your host machine and XP Mode.

Thank you again to everyone who took part in the poll.

I would be curious as to what people actually use XP Mode for. Are there certain aplications?

I think these days it's mainly non-commercial applications used within corporations.
