What software comes with it ?

Later Diagbox should work on 7 as well as XP
v5 may only be XP (will work on 2K)
v6 as v5 possibly will run on 7

Stand alone Lexia / Planet not sure, probably XP only at a guess without some tweaking.

Dual boot; well not really a problem if you can manage to get both OS's onto the drive and have them boot properly. May have to use third party boot manager ie Grub or something if you wanted to try to do it now, otherwise fresh install then attempt to install oldest first.

Lexia does not work on 64Bit OSes (XP, Vista or 7)! diagbox does but I assume your '05 C5 will use Lexia., so if your Win7 is 64bit, you'll either need to Dual Boot or use a VM. VM is simpler than dual booting, and isn't that difficult to set up.
