I haven't seen anyone ask the question (I did search), and I *assume* the answer is simple and obvious, but I find it best to ask:
What is happening or going to happen with Windows 7 support?
I'm aware that it's just an upgrade from NT6.0 to NT6.1; the graphics and sound subsys experience should be (nearly) identical; and so forth, but I'm sort of looking for a definitive statement, such as: "Yes, we are committed to supporting Windows 7 for all of our games."
Also, a statement such as "all games marked as compatible with Vista 32/64 will work perfectly on NT6.1 32/64" would be very reassuring before I buy these Tex Murphy games. :D
(...this last especially because my experience with NT6.1 x64 is that: there is no Win16 subsys present any longer, and anything or anyone relying on it will get a nasty shock. And I have a couple systems new enough (P-D 820, 4GB) to be more than worth upgrading to NT6.1, but old enough that "Windows XP Mode" will chuckle heartily when I attempt to install it. No VT+ nor TXT nor other fancy acronyms. Not even EIST, I believe.)
(In fact, I would be thrilled to see a statement such as "all GOG products will work perfectly on Windows 7 without requiring 'Windows XP Mode.'" Because XP Mode is a very poor idea.)
