Really? the pukka XP compatibility mode for Windows 7?

I dont dount I can install vmware, virtual pc etc etc, but then Ill have to find a license for said install of XP - I'm assuming that the Windows compat version is fully licensed out of the box... ?

Basically it installs VirtualPC on your machine and you get an XP licence key to install from MS.
