some bad news again for windows 7 as some intel chips dont support windows 7 xp mode.
this is the second major problem after the vbootkit 2.0 hacking of win7

as stated
small brouhaha is erupting over Windows 7 and Intel processors. The hubbub is centered on which Intel processors will not support "XP mode" in Windows 7 and, by extension, which PCs will not support XP mode. Retail laptops may be one of the most prominent segments affected.
ntel mobile processors may be the most problematic in supporting XP mode; not because of the raw numbers--most newer Intel mobile processors do, in fact, support Intel Virtualization Technology--but a disproportionate number of those that do not have VT (and therefore don't support XP mode) are laptops sold at retail. (And, undoubtedly, some small businesses purchase laptops at retail.)

In the Core 2 mobile camp, the P7350/7450, the T5200/5250/5270/5300/5450/5470 series, and the T6400/6570 do not support VT, according to Bott's blog. And this can be confirmed on Intel's Web site.

details can be read here

Desibond, please review Windows 7. Fast. Should I ditch Windows XP and go to Windows 7 ? Is it worth it ? Will I get the speed boost on my rig ?

And most importantly, HOW GOOD IS XP MODE ? I trust it can run all old apps well ?

Click to expand...
Whatever it may be, Windows XP is surely faster than Windows 7...It's just that Windows 7 is way faster than Windows Vista.

I installed Windows 7 and used it only for 30 minutes just to get the feel of it and then removed it.

Guyz who all are wishing 2 leave XP i'll say this is the right time
Win 7 is great at performance compared with Vista but still say XP boots faster :D (whatever the benchmarks may be)
Although keeping in mind the trend ill recon u 2 shift to Win 7 for now(atleast install it)

:( Couldn't install it on my older laptop (HP nc4000) - Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz, 1Gig of RAM, brand new Samsung 5400 RPM HDD.

First tried to install by booting off the DVD ROM drive with the Windows 7 DVD (BTW, I had burnt it at 16x). Does not go any further than the Windows flashing logo. Keeps flashing for hours together. Then installed XP and tried to run the setup from within XP. This time it got as far as "Extracting 98%". Waited 4 hours, but no progress.

Finally, back to XP again.
