Yes, you absolutely can - but it slows down your computer.

Here are some of the options:

  1. Boot camp: pre installed in the mac (in the Utilities folder)
  2. VirtualBox: virtual machine (freeware)
  3. VMware: virtual machine (paid application)

Use a virtual machine if you want minimal modification on your mac.

Can you install Windows 7 on a Vista laptop?

Windows Vista is an operating system, not an application. It does not run "on" Windows 7 so it cannot be said to be "compatible" with it. Drivers and applications written for Windows Vista will continue to work on Windows 7. The reverse may not necessarily be true. Vista and 7 use the same kernel, so there shouldn't be anything that doesn't work on 7 that works on Vista, but compatibility mode should fix most problems you would have.
