Windows 8 Windows 8 flexibility

[kemical]

A rather interesting article over at Informationweek.com tells of Windows 8 being demonstrated to run Windows 7 virtually amongst other things..

Not only can Windows 8 run Win7 virtually, it can split the display screen so that the same app running in Win8 and Win7 can be shown side by side, to make comparison easier. Averett demonstrated how a Win8, Metro version of the game Cutthroat could be pinned to one side of the desktop while developers ran a Windows 7 version.
