The update is available as a download from Microsoft's Web site.
Previously, Windows 7 XP Mode required a PC equipped with hardware-assisted virtualization, such as Intel Virtualization Technology or AMD-V. But Microsoft's update eliminates that need.
"This change makes it extremely easy for businesses to use Windows XP Mode to address any application incompatibility roadblocks they might have in migrating to Windows 7," said LeBlanc. "Windows XP Mode will of course continue to use hardware virtualization technology if available," he added.
Microsoft did not provide details on how running XP Mode without a hardware boost would effect application performance. Most Windows XP apps will run natively in Windows 7, but some require XP mode for compatibility.
Microsoft is hoping the move will boost Windows 7 adoption by small- and mid-sized businesses. Most SMBs still use applications written for Windows XP, and many lack the higher-end PCs that were previously required to run Windows 7 XP Mode.
Microsoft recommended that larger companies wishing to make XP Mode available to their employees continue to use Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V), which is included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack available to Software Assurance Subscribers.
"MED-V provides deployment and manageability features better fit to address the needs of the enterprise customer," said LeBlanc.
Microsoft introduced Windows 7 in October 2009. XP Mode is available only in the Professional and Ultimate versions of the OS.
Amazon has at last released Kindle for Mac, which means you can now read your Kindle books on most any device. It joins the iPhone, PC Blackberry and, of course, the Kindle itself.
Like the PC version, Kindle for Mac is a bare-bones reader. You turn pages with either the scroll-wheel of your mouse or the arrow keys, and it stays in sync with any other device authorized for the same account. You can view notes and bookmarks made on other devices, but you can’t create new ones (a limitation shared with the PC version).
It’s pretty bad. If you want to zoom the text, for example, the standard Mac shortcuts are Cmd + and Cmd -. They don’t work. Instead you have to open a special panel, which can leave a blank “cut-out” in the text after it has been closed.
It is a beta, but you only know that if you open up the “about” box. We guess it’s nice to have a way to read on a computer, and even better to have a local archive of your books, but I can’t help feeling that a company the size of Amazon could do better than this. Especially as it bought the quite excellent Stanzaalmost a year ago, which has a great Mac app, along with the iPhone version.
Amazon might be happy selling books, and not care about the devices they are read on. But if you carry on like this, Amazon, people will be pushed to buy their readers, and books, elsewhere.
