Closer to the "leap in the dark" category.  No doubt 7 will install, but if
Asus doesn't have drivers for it, you'd have to check with the OEMs of
whatever hardware is in the machine, and they probably won't have drivers
for 7 either.  So you may end up with nonfunctional ethernet, wifi, video
(will work but with generic driver), USB ports, etc., etc.

Activating Windows 7 would be another issue, but you may have that under
control.
