I tried it, but I even couldn't install Visual C++ 2005 Express on
Windows 7.  I spent just few hours on it, so it can be my trivial
mistake.

Yes, it does.  Mostly.

I have NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT on the PC I tried Windows 7, and I needed
to update the graphics driver through Windows Update to run SL viewer.
(The update was categorized as optional, and it didn't insall
automatically.)

I found a problem regarding Japanese input method on Windows 7.  When
I ran SL viewer on Japanese version of Windows 7, it had no proble.
However, When I ran it on US English version of Windows with Japanese
Keyboard enabled, I had troble typing Japanese text throgh Microsoft
Japanese IME.
