Windows 7 has been out and about for little over a week now, and as it turns out, Microsoft's new baby is doing relatively well. That is, according to the figures by NetApplications: Windows 7 already reached the 3% mark this weekend, and is already closing in on the 4% mark.

But how to run apps without XP, on a modern operating system?
With a virtual machine there is still basically an XP blob sitting between the app and the real OS, with all the problems of XP (insecurities, licensing issues etc).
The only two solutions I can see are:
1) Vista/7/2008
2) WINE (flaky)
When OS/2 takes over the desktop there will be no need for this discussion. Never broke compatibility from 1.xx onward.
