    get XPM (virtual xp mode) for Windows 7 working on 2008R2
    the WindowsXPMode exe executes well and olso the installation runs well
    the only problem is the Windows6.1-KB958559-x64_Virtualpc_update.msu file that says the operation system is not supported..

  • Lysergic Said on August 30th, 2009 at 7:22 am:

    Anyone know if Homegroup is possible? Apparently it was in the beta’s but did not work.

  • Jasonpax Said on September 3rd, 2009 at 7:56 pm:

    The thing missing to make homegroups work is the 2 homegroup services. If someone can figure out how to install those, you should be golden.

  • Manual Said on September 8th, 2009 at 12:28 am:

    request manual “pdf”

  • AsciiWolf Said on September 12th, 2009 at 9:38 am:

    Windows Media Center – It’s an No 1 Application!

  • Kay_u Said on September 26th, 2009 at 4:04 pm:

    Analog TV Tuner support (Leadtek tv 2000 expert)

  • Eric_T Said on September 27th, 2009 at 6:25 pm:

    what about media streaming? It’s the feature that allows other windows 7 computers to access and play music and videos from another windows 7 computer.

  • Nita Said on October 10th, 2009 at 5:43 pm:

    Request: Services tweaking

  • Dan Said on October 12th, 2009 at 7:25 pm:

    To add in the Wish List:
    Windows Easy Transfer

    Thanks

  • AsciiWolf Said on November 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm:

    Hi Arris,
    Please add “Home Group” to the Wish List.
    Thanks… :-)

  • Jia Said on November 11th, 2009 at 6:41 pm:

    Need Windows Mobility Center badly…

  • James Said on November 15th, 2009 at 8:55 am:

    Please add Windows DVD Maker to the wish-list. Thank you.

  • hooken Said on November 26th, 2009 at 8:17 pm:

    what about “the startup sound can’t really work”?

  • Ethan Said on December 10th, 2009 at 9:12 am:

    The rest of the Aero features and looks from win 7. Like windows+space making all programs transparent, etc.

    Arris: That’s already a feature of Windows Server 2008 R2 after you installed the Desktop Experience feature and enable Aero. See this page for more information.

  • Ed Said on December 15th, 2009 at 4:41 am:

    how about Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder in 2008 R2. We can found it on windows 7.

  • winsen Said on December 26th, 2009 at 12:54 pm:

    Request: Calibrate display
    how about load my ICC Profiles in startup?

  • joelpt Said on January 3rd, 2010 at 1:21 am:

    Dittoing winsen’s request, more specifically Windows 7’s Display Color Calibration tool ( e.g. http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/07/windows-7-calibrate-your-display )

  • Alex Said on February 16th, 2010 at 12:23 am:

    Please add Speech Recognition to the list.
    (Win7 has it. Seems to work well. :) )

  • Leon Said on February 24th, 2010 at 3:33 pm:
