The VSC DXi synth will NOT run in the compatibility mode, as far as I was able to tell. Since I didn't want to run the whole BiaB application in the compatibility mode box, it is not possible to run it across from native W7 to XP-mode. But yes, the Professional version of W7 has the Virtual-XP mode included. If you're really dead set on not using anything but VSC DXi, you might give a shot at installng the whole thing in the virtual partition, but I can forsee quite a few problems with that, including not being able to "see" any external sound-card if you're using a notebook. (When I run something in Virtual-XP it cannot see the Creative X-Fi/Notebook card.)
