Microsoft is adding a "Windows XP Mode" to Windows 7, in a move to encourage users to make the switch to the software vendor's forthcoming operating system.

is that because you are some ethereal being who has been to the future - or is it just aeons of experience? Some wise old saying "XP Pro makes good sense".
