If it's running Vista, it will almost certainly run 7. There's really very little reason for anyone to stick with Vista. If it's running XP, it's not as clear-cut, since a machine that runs XP just fine may or may not have the horsepower to handle 7. If you're running anything under XP... then probably not; any machine that pre-dates XP is almost certainly too old, unless you've upgraded it piecewise (new motherboard here, new graphics card there, more memory, and so on).
In the Related Links section there's a link to Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that will give you some idea of how 7 will work on your machine.

This means most things just work with Microsoft. The other main competitors are Apple and the different types of Linux software.
