Backward compatibility.
Virtualization may resolve the code problems resulting from the need for backward compatibility. It's Microsoft's current solution, anyway:

"Those two high-end packages also include Virtual PC Express, a light version of Microsoft?s virtualization tool, which will allow you to run applications written for earlier Windows versions that are incompatible with Windows Vista."

Does meet my expectation of a separate application.

But I also wonder whether other applications will be available easily and at no additional cost to the virtualized prior Windows. Being able to use program output is frequently important.
