Shouldn't be a problem unless they're only including "Home" versions;
Windows 7 Professional and up comes with the ability to download a
version of Virtual PC for free that will use the Intel or AMD
virtualization extensions and will run a 32-bit Windows XP Professional
inside of it.  It will then permit you to install applications using the
Windows XP Mode and show them seamlessly in the Windows 7 start menu.
Such applications will appear obviously in a Windows XP-style window.
