It already does. You can get the RSAT tools from here

They include the Hyper-V manager for Windows 7.

After installing the above download, go to Windows Features in Control Panel and choose the 'Role Administration Tools'. Select Hyper-V Tools from there.

Edit: Link updated to current version.

  • Finally, a link to the download!! May 26, 2011 at 2:30
  • You might also want to be aware that although Windows 7 can manage Hyper-V on 2008, it can't manage all of the features of Hyper-V 2012, including the free hypervisor product.

Windows 7 cannot host Hyper-V. There is a new version of Virtual PC that you can use on it.

The Remote Administration tools can be downloaded here. It includes Hyper-V manager but must be enabled in the Windows Feature activation in the control panel.
