But for me it's absolutely necessary to know my actions are valid and legal. You guys might laugh now, I'm used to it,so please be my guests. There's this trick which allows you to download XP Mode, activate it and use it in VirtualBox, which you can install on Home editions? Has only 7 Home, which makes it not possible to use VPC XP Mode, what am I supposed to say? That no, it's not OK because the license included is valid only when XP Mode is used together with Virtual PC in a system which has 7 Pro or better? Or do I say that If I'm asked what to do when a client or friend asks is it OK to use VMLite plugin because his / her computer
The reason of my question is precisely this: I am in a position where I give professional advice to people about how to use their computers etc. This plugin does not control which version of Windows 7 you have installed as you certainly know, VirtualBox runs also in Home editions. WMLite offers this VirtualBox plugin, which allows user to install and use the XP Mode vhd in VirtualBox. Microsoft allows you to install and use the license free XP Mode, as long as your host system is Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate orĮnterprise. I am completely happy with Virtual PC and XP Mode, I do not need XP installed in VirtualBox. I am very strictly against all forms of piracy, from simple unauthorized use of an image or song to using illegal software and applications, and everything in between. In my anti-piracy crusade I tend to be a bit paranoid.
