  1. Is your windows 7 install 64 bit?

    If so you can get a sharepoint foundation 2010 development environment on it with a bit of messing around that works very well.

    You can also put Server 2010 on win 7 but it's a resource hog.

    I've just put foundations on 7, and all works fine.

    Go 2010, not 2007, it's a very different, and much better beast.

    is a good install guide, though 2010 is out of beta now so use the real thing.

    Sharepoint foundation 2010 is a free download.
