The article from InformationWeek discusses an intriguing feature of Windows 8 where it can run Windows 7 virtually. This capability allows for applications to be compared side by side, with one running in Windows 8 and the other in Windows 7, to facilitate easy comparison. One of the demonstrations highlighted in the article involves showing a Metro version of the game Cutthroat pinned to one side of the desktop in Windows 8 while developers ran a Windows 7 version on the other side.
