To ease the application compatibility issues for migrating to Windows 7, Microsoft is going to incorporate the Virtual PC technology in to the Windows 7 operating system. The Windows XP applications will be published and run within the Windows 7 Desktop to achieve a seamless user experience. See the Windows team blog announcement here.
All you need to do is to install suitable applications directly in Windows XP Mode which is a virtual Windows XP environment running under Windows Virtual PC. The applications will be published to the Windows 7 desktop and then you can run them directly from Windows 7.
See here some snapshots
The Enterprise equivalent of the XP-Mode is MED-V which provides scalability, management, security and other enterprise features. See MED-V information here.

Only downside is it requires hardware virtualization, so potential enterprise and professional users will be less. Few processor models have hardware virtualization today.
