I have AOD running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Compatibility mode isn't even checked and it works quite well. It only required Admin rights on the shortcut. (From Nipplespanner's .exe here in this forum.)

SH3 won't run for me for some reason. SH4 - no problem at all.

On my Win 7 rig I have these installed and running very well:

Command & Conquer, The First Decade (all the old C&C games from the first one on run well with this First Decade version)
Railroad Tycoon 3
Lords of the Realm II
Trophy Hunter 2003 (from Disk) (Deer Hunter 2005 failed)
X-Com UFO Defense
Sid Meier's Gettysburg (from disk)
Sid Meier's Pirates (installed from disk)
Age of Empires

(some reset my color scheme to windows basic on launch but it just resets itself when closing the game)
There is no rule of thumb, old games will often run but I do a search to see if\how others got it to run if I couldn't. Good old games (gog.com is also a good resource to repurchase an oldie because they go into the programming so they will run on modern machines.
