I can't give a definitive answer because I haven't used MS Works
2008\2009. But I am using MS Works 7 Dated 2002 successfully which may
give you a degree of comfort that Works 2008 could also be compatible
with Win 7.

According to Microsoft's web site (Windows 7 section under "compatibility")
Works 8 (more correctly, 8.05) is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit
Windows 7. I don't use Works (the only time I've had a copy was while I was
beta-testing a never-released software distribution tool back in the
mid-1990s and "purchased" Works to test the process) but it looks like the
..05 is a free update.
ObBlastFromThePast: another program that works quite nicely with Win7 is the
original VisiCalc for DOS. I've used it as a "demo" as a way to inject a
bit of humor into a Windows 7 orientation session. You can download a
fully-licensed copy from Dan Bricklin's web page:
www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm
The cheat sheet can also be downloaded from Dan's site.

I tried this with Daughters PC and it was a no go. It came with a version of
Works 9. It has an ad going on the right side that you can't get rid of. In
checking I found it was MS who did this. They offer a cut rate version if
you wish to get rid of the ads you have to pay. I have a copy of Works 8 I
bought many years ago and was no longer using so I deleted her 9 and tried
to install 8. It gets about half way there then gives an error saying it
will not work with the OS and cancels the install. I have 6 licenses of
Office 2007 so I just put one of those on there for her. Hers is a 64 bit so
I don't know if that was what makes the difference or not.
