Bye Bye XP?

As that moment approaches, can someone explain to me what will happen to my XP installed programmes which I run under Win7 if I remove the XP OS from my drive? Do I need to re-install all these on Win7?

Does the 'Run as XP' option require the XP OS? I guess it will need the XP registry?

As a 'supplementary', is there an option to continue with XP on my machine but with internet access disabled for it (XP) or will it still be 'vulnerable'?

I have run the virtualisation detection tool but it tells me I do not 'have the necessary permissions to access the item'. As per the M$ page, do I need to download and install Windows XP Mode, and Windows Virtual PC?
