I did not notice that. Having a look on the forums, some W7-64 people 
have got it working (but not others), apparently needing compatibility 
settings in the shortcut and/or installing Indeo Codecs. See here -

GOG not listing W7 just means they could not get it working reliably 
enough on ALL their 30 or so test PCs to support it, but may still work. 
(Who knows for sure though, if you have the winning hardware combination)
