Windows 7 x64 XP Mode

Well I finally had the need to try out Windows 7 feature called "XP Mode". I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 x64 that I had been running Windows XP on for developing with Visual Studio 2005. Well VS2005 does not like Windows 7 so I installed XP Mode that allows you to run software in a Windows XP virtual machine. The cool part is that its totally seamless so it looks just like a normal app running on your system.
