does this version come with a virtual XP?

Refine your question a bit ... do you want to run virtual machines containing xp? Do you want to run Microsoft Virtual PC? If it's Virtual PC, you can download it free from Microsoft, provided you are running Win 7 or earlier.

No, there isn't anything extra. There's just the regular User's guide which you will find hidden under the "help" button in the upper part of the screen (on the right side). This user's guide is separated for version 3.0 and 3.5, same appears to the video tutorials which you can find there, too. But the software seems to being directed to Win 8 users. For me, using still XP it's too complicated to use, so usually I prefer to work with my Print shop 21 instead. Best regards, Heinz

You know what I'm curious of. If you can upgrade it to Windows Vista. My brother keeps saying I'll have to do it eventually and I wonder about that if what he says is true. Though with the introduction of so many netbooks carrying XP to the market, I wonder what Microsoft is going to do about their plans to stop updating XP.

The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why? As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?

Yes, it does. I have used it with XP PRO, Vista and 7. It works very well and has great image quality.

Mine did which was one of the reasons I bought it. However you can also download Windows XP to a computer.

The XP version is already available at Microcenter locations and their websites as well for only $399.99. In fact, I'm writing this up on my XP Aspire One right now lol.

Yes it does. I believe I had to go in as the administrator after installation and force it to run in Windows XP mode, but have had absolutely no problems running this game on Windows 8.

Just echoing the replies already given (moral support I guess). XP has not been officially supported since version 1.7 of the Maschine software (currently 1.8.2), but many people seem to be running on it just fine. There are some threads about this on the NI forums as well, for instance: http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176281 There is no fee for using or updating the software. All NI products use an application called the Service Center, which is a very slick, fast, unobtrusive license and update manager which handles that for you. Moving between PCs is or adding a secondary install is trivial (just run it on the other system), should you decide to upgrade.

I would say that it does but I do not recall I'd XP was on it. I do know that windows 7-9 is on the list and is free to download 7.

No, machine I received came with windows XP operating system. If you are looking for the machine with windows 7, you might want to check other machines.

I doubt you could directly to the machine, since drivers are certainly going to be an issue. However, Windows 8 pro and enterprise can install hyper-v virtualization and since the drivers on that can be old school, I've gotten XP to install on that. The gotcha on this plan is if you have hardware dongles for communications or licenses, that don't always work.

In my experience, you need only have an OEM Microsoft install disc to validate using the upgrade. It will ask you to insert it during install, and after checking the OEM, it will resume XP installation.

Per the System Requirements on the box it does list XP as an OS it runs on. I never tried it on XP however so I can't tell you how well it works.

I think so..everything that has said was for XP has been installed on the Vista. Got this for my daughter and her family and they play it all the time so I'm sure it does.
