Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Virtual Desktop (Vmware view)
We are having following question. We are planning to migrate to WIN7 and we have 2 business applications that will not run on WIN7.
Would it be possible to use Windows XP Mode in a Windows 7 VD?
Is that supported? Has anyone tried something like this before?

I understood and responded to your original message. You need to try what you are suggesting (because it is virtual within virtual).
You can probably install XP mode, but I do not know if apps will work in that environment.

Unity sounds like XPMODE but native to VMWARE. Do you know if something like this could be implemented with Vmware View? Is this something that only works for VMWare workstation?

I know this works with the free VMware player and it is listed in the VM Workstation here is the manual referencing Unity in VMWare Workstation UNITY MANUAL
Sorry not sure about Vmware VIew
Be careful here that you DO NOT GET yourself into a NESTED HYPERVISOR problem. e.g. running a Hypervisor within a Hypervisor.
