Microsoft has released Windows XP Mode to manufacturing, and will make it available as a public download when Windows 7 launches on October 22.

MS says the minimum system requirement for running XP Mode is 2GB of RAM and 15 gig of disk space and a CPU capable of handling virtualization.

XP Mode is aimed at SMBs with legacy or custom-built applications and enables users of the venerable OS – it's eight years old, remember – by providing a virtual XP SP3 environment under Windows 7.

Microsoft hopes the availability of a full-featured version of XP will encourage its more ludditic customers to quite literally get with the program and move to Win 7. Those purchasing Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate will get XP Mode as a free download.
