I was reading Daniel Petri’s latest article over at the Petri Knowledgebase - How To Install Windows XP Mode (XPM) on Windows 7.
I was interested in this article because, honestly, I didn’t know what “Windows XP Mode (XPM)” was. Daniel says, “Windows XP Mode (or XPM for short) is a new feature of Windows 7 (available only in the Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions) that can help businesses to upgrade their computers to Windows 7. It does so by providing a virtual Windows XP environment capable of running many Windows XP-compatible business and productivity applications.”
He goes on to show how it can help you, how to install it, and how to use it. To read the full article, just checkout: How To Install Windows XP Mode (XPM) on Windows 7

Last week, Train Signal - the global leader in video training - released their Microsoft Windows 2008 Network Infrastructure training course. This course covers the Microsoft MCTS / MCITP certification exam 70-642. Taught by Ed Liberman, this 14 hour video training course also includes the 70-642 Transcender exam simulator to ensure you are prepared for the exam. Besides certification coverage, the product uses real-world scenarios to ensure that you are prepared to be a Windows 2008 Network Admin in a enterprise.
I watched one of the videos and was impressed by Ed’s knowledge of networking and his clear speaking voice. I liked the way that he made Windows 2008 Networking easy to understand.
I hope you will checkout the demo of the Train Signal Windows 2008 Network Infrastructure video training course.
