If the labview version that the beta testers have received is any indication, you will NOT be receiving labview 2009 at the start of the season: we are all using 8.6.<insert latest beta update here> - but who knows what FIRST has up their sleeves.
That said, we have several beta testers running labview on windows 7. The installer didn't work (they had to install each component individually) but once they had it up and running, it wasn't an issue.
That said, I've been on the more conservative side when it comes to computer programs. Bleeding edge usually means problems, and we already have enough of those with our robot without worrying about finding new problems on unsupported software interactions
