Applications you install in Windows XP mode run inside the Windows XP virtual machine. On Windows 7, Windows XP mode is actually full copy of the Windows XP operating system running in Microsoft’s Virtual PC virtualization software. Microsoft pitched this feature as a way to run old applications in “ Windows XP mode,” but it’s not just another Windows compatibility feature.
