You can't go for anything lower than 640x480 on Win7... via change resolution control panel applet.

You can still go lower than that by setting resolution via WinAPI. It's only not displayed in Win7's resolution list, not unavailable.

Probably because no sane person would set anything that low for their desktop (if it can run Win7, it probably can handle higher resolutions than that) and API access was left for times where it does make sense such as games.
