While I agree what your saying, it may not be certified to work with W7 I'm sure support will still be offered, however, if a unique problem comes Up, then the excuse (not meant in a mean tone) that your not working with A supported combination would be the answer, but if it's just something That everyday support can still handle, I would imagine they would still Take the $$ to renew a contract (just a guess).
My original response was to keep it isolated on a new W Server machine, Or at the least isolated on it's own W7 machine. Although personnaly my True preference would be to go with a linux server vs windows. But it's Not my say.

Windows 7 is not intended for this use; while this configuration may "work" for some values of "work", stability issues can and should be expected. In particular, I would expect the network stack to be, unh, "flaky" might be the best word. More importantly, Windows 7 is not LICENSED for this use. I am not affiliated with Rocket, nor can I speak for them, but I would be very surprised if Rocket supports this configuration. This is NOT a good idea; it has "false economy" written all over it. I would discourage your client, friend or whatever from going down this path.
