Color us intrigued. The gang at SuperSite for Windows have revealed what
they know about a pretty awesome Windows 7 feature: XP Mode, a
virtualized copy of Windows XP with Service Pack 3. It'll reportedly be
a free download for Professional and Ultimate Edition users, a shame it
won't be coming to all versions. Unlike many other Virtual PC options,
the environment won't require a separate workspace so you can run the
individual apps as you would alongside those native to 7 -- in the
example pictured, that's Word 2003 in XP mode next to Word 2007. It all
sounds vaguely similar to the XP compatibility mode found in Vista, but
if we're understanding this right, XPM should make legacy compatibility
much less of a hassle. We haven't heard any reports of it being found in
the leaked Release Candidate build, so if you're antsy to get a glimpse
now, hit up the read link for a gallery.

Yes, but who remembers? MS once again is marketing technology, as Apple has
done. Nothing new, just a new cover

I think he's talking about the urls wrapping, it stops them being clickable
in some newsreaders

Copying and pasting the urls works in Firefox however, even if they've
wrapped.

Surrounding the url in angle brackets works for some newsreaders, or you can
tinyurl the links. I now use the preview feature on tinyurl so people don't
have to worry about getting tricked into going somewhere horrible.
