Right here, you can download a Windows XP VM if you have Windows 7. Looks free to me.
If you have WIndows 7 Professional or Ultimate to be precise which a lot users probably don't have. Besides, you can't play current games in XP mode.

but you just have to look at the amount of programs it allows through by default due to them being submitted to MS as "trusted apps", to get the idea that EA could well do the same. After that, its only a short step to repeating the Sony Rootkit debacle.
There is a difference between allowing signed programs that are being set up with elevated rights to write themselves into the firewall rules and to override user rules that were created afterwards.
The former is standard procedure so users don't have to specify rules for every software they install. The latter is an intrusion into user security which I can't imagine Microsoft would allow nowadays. They learned their lesson.
