Alright so I went online to download Microsoft Virtual Machine and Windows XP mode for my laptop. Look at this, I laughed pretty hard.

just trying to install linux on a virtual machine, thought I would try out Windows VM to use it (not going to actually, I'm gonna use VirtualBox now). I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop, and selected it and Microsoft said I must have Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to use the VM and XP mode. I was like "really now..." and just had a hunch I could run it on Home. Turns out I was right, since in the installations notes it clearly says I can use Basic and Premium and it works. lmao

In the picture, it says: Download and install Updates
BTW, XP compatibly works in home premium, but i dont think that microsoft virtual pc supports it.

On MS's website, they say XP Mode is only for Professional and Ultimate versions.

So all that is, is a typo in the installation notes.
