XP Mode, a virtual machine package for Windows 7 containing a pre-installed version of Windows XP, allows users to run a virtual Windows XP environment through which older applications can retain compatibility. The introduction of XP Mode has been deemed critical in convincing business users to upgrade to Windows 7, but originally launched with specific hardware requirements - XP mode would only run on systems equipped with processors supporting Intel VT or AMD-V.

The software giant has today lifted that restriction by making available an updated XP Mode package that "no longer requires hardware virtualisation technology".
