Bought a new Dell with Windows 7 Home version. I planned to run MS Office 2003 Home and Student because the new 2010 version does not include Outlook. I was told to install the updgrade to Win7v Pro that has an XP mode. Then I was told that Pro would not run the old Office version due to some Microsoft "feaures". What about some of my other XP programs like Harmony remote setup, legal forms, quicken, photoshop, etc? thanks.

I was at a local computer club meeting Monday evening and they demoed on a windows 7 system (not sure of the ver) a virtual window (may have had a different name) that run XP and was told that anything that ran on a XP box would run in this virtual window.
I will try to find out more details but it may be a few days.

The answer is, "It depends." If you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7, it will not run any 16-bit programs that ran under Windows XP. Those might run under the 32-bit version of Windows 7. For the most part, any 32-bit program that ran under XP should run under 7. I run Office 2003 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with minimal problems.

I went to a couple of Microsoft web pages and the charts show that Windows Home Premium and versions below do not support compatibility mode.

Compatibility issue will occur if you try to run XP programs on Window 7.
As very first thing that will occur is Bit comparison of both windows. Bit comparison will not allow to run XP programs on Window 7.
