XP Mode: New in Windows 7, Microsoft is making a free virtual machine of Windows XP available for use on business PCs that are running Windows 7. It is important to realize that if you choose to run XP Mode, you now have two instances of the OS that you need to patch and protect from viruses, etc. Symantec Endpoint Protection helps reduce costs by only requiring one license to manage both instances of the OS on a PC.
Symantec minimizes downtime and helps organizations avoid disaster by easily recovering data or complete Windows 7 systems in minutes—not hours or days—even to different hardware.
