Anyone tried building a virtual XP installation on a Windows 7 system? I have an old piece of software that absolutely will not run in 7's compatibility mode, so I thought I'd build a virtual XP. For my next trick, I want to use this virtual XP on multiple hardware platforms, and I suspect this part will not be possible because of driver requirement differences. I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried virtualizing XP on Windows 7, and which virtual environment manager (VMWare, etc.) they prefer, and of course, why.
