Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC Public Beta now available

I have not played with it much, just got it installed. I did find one issue. The default ram setting is 256 meg with no option to change that.

Installed Win7 on an Asus R1F tabletPC a few days ago: 1.66GHz C2D, 1GB RAM. Installed XP Mode last night, have been playing with it a bit. By itself, win7 uses almost exactly 500MB RAM. With XP Mode running and an IE6 instance open, the system uses an average of 770-800MB. All the while, running rather smoothly considering the tablet's specs. I'm impressed.

@Spidubic: It's just like a regular system. Shut it down normally and then you can tinker with the settings in the Virtual PC console.

Robertsjoe, that would work, if it wasn't for three quite important things. 1) if file extensions are hidden then no other file would have ".txt" shown after it it would stand out like a sore thumb. 2)explorer still shows the file's type as "application" in the details pane, and in the actual list view (this is even shown in the link you had) 3)this is the really important one to remember.... if it is an app that wants access to your system, then it will IMMEDIATELY bring up a confirmation when you try to run it, making it very clear that this is an application, and not a simple text file. Remeber, f-secure is in the business of selling their product too.

@Lux: Tablet PC's aren't often made too often for the low-cost consumer segment, so I'd say it's likely it's a higher-end CPU, if maybe an LV or ULV model. The Atom Z520 runs at 1.33GHz and has VT.
