While this was originally a Vista utility, as of the October 17th release Windows 7 is fully supported.
Remember, you don't need Vistalizator if you're running an Ultimate edition - you can just run one of the standalone language packs. As luck would have it, they're also linked on the Vistalizator site for easy download. You'll find them grouped by OS on the download page.
