    This looks pretty interesting. I don't recall seeing it discussed here:

    http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/xp_mode_preview.asp

    Basically looks like Windows 7 will have a version of Virtual PC including a licensed version of Windows XP, and it allows apps installed in the virtual environment to appear as regular apps in the host environment. Interesting.
