    Hey, so i'm running Windows 7 RC1 right now, loving it... I was looking around online, and i decided to install the XP mode, but i'm not sure how it works and such, i've installed it but i can't see where it is or how to use it...

    Any ideas?

    OK, the version of Virtual PC is slightly different to previous versions.
    Its merged into the Windows shell, so there is no virtual pc application.

    Within c:\users\%username% is a folder called virtual machines.
    Once you are in the folder you will see the XP mode machine that has been installed.
    There is also a button towards the top to create new machines if required.

    Also bear in mind that your processor needs to support a virtualisation mode in order for it to run.
    Any more questions just post back or pm me...
