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.

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.

As you have highlighted, it is says
development software. IE. Software for writing code. You also must have completely ignored my post.
While I do not know the specifics of how the Classmate's install, I know it is very custom and when you boot into the Driver Station mode, it's scripted very specifically.This may not work in Windows 7. I personally wouldn't take the risk but I'm not your team.
