Does Windows 7 support running Hyper-V Manager?

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.

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.
