    Is the XP virtual box that important to you?

    Some people use their gaming PCs for things other than gaming, such as working from home. Even among those who don't, For fans of classic games designed for Windows 3.1 or Windows 98, Windows XP Mode could be useful. The 64-bit operating systems can't run Windows 3.1 games at all without some sort of virtual machine emulating a 32-bit CPU. And I seem to remember that plenty of 32-bit games from the 9x era have trouble running in 32-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7, let alone 64-bit, even with compatibility mode turned on for the application.
