Currently Windows 7 is the most used Microsoft OS among our visitors, but we cannot ignore the newer versions 8 and 8.1 which are growing constantly. The official End of extended support for Windows 7 is announced as of Januwhich most probably means that until 2020 we will be still able to use Windows XP Mode for our dirty tests. However Microsoft are advising us to use it only offline because of the expired support.
And although Windows XP is officially dead, yet the XP Mode is still available for download.

Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 makes it easy to install and run any programs that run on Windows XP directly from a computer that runs Windows 7 (or later, as we will see). Microsoft did a great job with their Windows 7 when they offered the possibility to have a virtual machine running Windows XP. I’m saying that because even we are still using it a lot and it is pretty common for some dirty tests, especially if you are native Windows user. In fact it is the third one (up to date) popular Windows OS operating system and it is used from almost 4% of our visitors. Officially Windows XP died on Apbut it is still quite popular OS, okay.
In fact we are using Windows XP Mode virtual machine with installed either Cisco IP Communicator or VTGO IP Blue to have an additional softphones. We are using it a lot for our voice labs when we need to simulate remote branches.
Do you still use Windows XP? What about XP Mode?
