Get your customers to wait for Windows 7. I got this answer from Microsoft when I asked about running Comet on a Windows 7 64bit PC. It appears to me that "XP Mode" will run Comet16 as if you installed a Virtual PC on the 64bit Windows 7.
CAVEAT: the Windows 7 PC must have virtual capability (CPU and maybe something else).

Dear Partner,
Thank you for posting in our forum. This is Brandon from Microsoft Partner Online Community and it is very nice to meet you!
From your message, I understand you want to confirm whether XP Mode can run in 32bit mode in 64bit Windows 7 PC. Please correct me if I have any misunderstanding.
The answer is yes. 32-bit XP Mode can run in 64-bit Windows 7 machine.
The Windows XP Mode (XPM) utilizes Virtual PC 7.0 and RDP (6.1+) technologies to enable seamless virtual application use in Windows 7. Of course, you can run 32bit Virtual PC in 64-bits Windows.
I would recommend the following web link for your reference, which have more information about XP Mode in Windows 7.

Have a nice day.
