How do you expect them to support hardware they don't make and drivers they don't write. Its not like Win7 prevents sli and crossfire. Nvidia and ati will provide support for their own products like they always have.
They arent supporting SLI or crossfire because they are proprietary, and not standardized. Microsoft will create a multi GPU API that unifies the interface and driver scheme for which AMD, NVIDIA, Intel and VIA will comply with and write drivers for, and be signed my Microsoft. Whether you like it or not, this is the way it should be and how it will be to increase performance and decrease driver problems.
