edit: I think it might just be Seamless mode, but the name doesn't seem right at all. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Window...atibility.aspx might give you some idea. I am going to look through my documentation and see if I can find it.

edit2: It's called Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) - Short video here
thanks for the link. it seems like MED-V is a more robust version of XP Mode, as XP Mode will also allow seemless application launch. the only problem i've run into with that is that it takes a long time for an XP program to start, as the XP virtual machine needs to fire up first. from what i've seen of MED-V it looks to be a lot quicker, so it may be worth looking into
