I've successfully got iTalc running on windows 7. It took some doing, and a combination of suggestions from others, but it's working.
Now that school is out, I've upgraded the high school lab to all new Acer machines, all running Windows 7 Professional. It's a lab of 24 Win 7 machines, with a 25th set up as the teacher's monitoring station (also on Win 7). To get it to work, I did the following on all the machines, including the teacher's station (the "server"):
1. Go into services and disable ICA.
2. Go into firewall and add an inbound and outbound TCP rule to open up port 5800 ( for all the options public, private, etc).
On the Windows 2008 R2 server:
1. Edit the policy for your student users to run the ICA program at login.
Alternatively, you could put the ica.exe in the startup folder on the local machines, but good luck finding where microsoft stuck it on Windows 7.
Doing this it works. I'm having a little problem with the graphics rendering on the teacher station, but I think it's the graphics card. Full screen remote control and even demo mode full screen works. I hope this helps someone.
