Re: [WIN8] XP Mode

No, it's purpose was for business compatibility, and support for XP now ends in 2014 after being extended when it should have already been completely discontinued, where it was late 2012 when Win 8 was released. You certainly can run it in a virtual machine provided you have your own license for the operating system.

I have a few retail boxes of XP SP2 still sitting in the closet probably covered in dust.

Would I have to use Hyper-V or what ever it's called?

That will work. I did exactly that. Hyper-V is nice but is no where as easy to setup as XP Mode was. You have to do everything and learn to appreciate what Microsoft did automatically in Windows 7.
