The Windows XP Mode feature of Windows 7 is now in the RC stage, and includes several big improvements over the beta. ZDNet have a list of some important changes:

Quote:
  • You can now attach USB devices to Windows XP Mode applications directly from the Windows 7 task-bar. This means your USB devices such as printers and flash drives are available to applications running in Windows XP Mode, without the need to go into full screen mode.
  • You can now access Windows XP Mode applications with a “jump-list”. Right click on the Windows XP Mode applications from the Windows 7 task bar to select and open most recently used files.
  • You now have the flexibility of customizing where Windows XP Mode differencing disk files are stored.
  • You can now disable drive sharing between Windows XP Mode and Windows 7 if you do not need that feature.
  • The initial setup now includes a new user tutorial about how to use Windows XP Mode.
You can download XP Mode here:
