Hello adrian,
I'm under 7 x64 professional currently.
I've got at the same time tortoisesvn and tortoisehg on the machine.
I see no big issue, like crash , freeze etc...
The only things that don't work are:
- overlays, but that also don't work with tortoisesvn. So this is not a big
issue for now :)
- the context menu is changed (like on vista)
http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/466/
This bug has maked people I know installng hg a little reluctant to install
it becasue they thought it will break their windows :)
I've seen taht there is some patch in the bug tracker for issue 466.
Are you interested in my plateform to test and squash definitively bug 466?
For overlay I can help but i've got no experience in windows system
programming.
I 've got visual C++ 2008 express installed.
Cheers,
Laurent

Current open shell extension issues can be listed by using
the following links:
http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issues/?kind=bug&status=open&component=overlays
http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issues/?kind=bug&status=open&component=cmenu
Contributors being able to help fixing or investigating
problems would be most welcome.
I especially have a problem with the Windows 7 platform, as I
currently lack access to the released version of Windows 7.
Hardware (64 bit) would be available here, but I do not own
a license (my MSDN pro subscription has expired before Windows 7
final was released). Vista 64 bit is available here.
Regarding the overlays, Windows 7 has the inherent problem that
it provides too few slots for overlay handlers out of the box
as noted in: http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/324 .
(I discovered this on Windows 7 RC. I can't say if anything has
changed since the release of Windows 7 final).
If this problem can be tackled, it probably must be attacked
in the TortoiseOverlays component, which wraps overlay handlers, and
which is developed in another project (ie not on the TortoiseHg
project).
So, from my side, support for shell extension on Windows 7 final is
currently very limited, or in fact: inexistent (mostly because I lack
access to it).
Contributors having access to Windows 7 64 bit final wanted.
