I had downloaded VMPlayer with the intention of installing XP but I can't find the Key Code so that's a bit of a bummer.
Now that I am part of the OU I am thinking of purchasing Office 2010 Professional Plus along with W7 Professional at under £65 for both from software4students.
Before I do I was wondering how good the XP Mode is at running 32 bit software on the 64 bit W7 OS. Also, is it similar to VMPlayer where I'd still need n XP Key Code?

The options might be different for your version of windows but that should give you something to look at.

But wouldn't running XP under Virtual PC mean I would require a licence?

Quote from: jelv Win 7 Professional includes Virtual PC so you could run a Win XP virtual machine on under Win 7.
You also need the hardware capable of doing it, which a couple of my old boxes aren't - though they do run Win 7 happily.
