Why don't you try it out and see for yourself. Here you can download a 90 day free trial Windows7 Enterprise. Then install it in a virtual partition as to those instructions. Use virtual Box. Allocate 1GB of RAM and 25GB of disk space to the virtual partition. You can install directly from the downloaded .iso. In less than 1 hour you up and running.
Read "The pros and cons of switching to Windows 7" on the Windows Secrets newsletter. It is very specific to your question.
An excerpt:
"By far the most-compelling argument for staying with Windows XP or Vista is this: The Windows you have now does everything you need, and you aren't overly concerned about rootkits or other nearly invisible malware hosing your machine. In this case, there's no compelling reason to go out on a limb with Win7."
