Re: Installing Windows 7 on our Driver Netbook
According to the Control System Manual, Chapter 2: "Getting Started":

2.3.2 Installation Requirements
The installation has been tested on Windows XP operating system. National Instruments and WindRiver have not finished their compatibility testing with Windows Vista or Windows 7, and thus won’t be supporting it for the 2010 FRC season. We don’t know of any reasons why it wouldn’t work, but wanted to let you know that if you use the development software on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you do so at your own risk.

(emphasis mine)

For me, that is reason enough not to install an updated version of Windows. However, I don't recall seeing any specific rules against it.
