I use an earlier version of the one shown in the link, it's a handy piece of kit and produces decent results:

Yep, it should be fine - give it a try and post some results.
The only thing I find is that hairs/dust do appear in shots occasionally - you either need to remove them digitally or clean the film with a soft brush and try again.

In that case, you won't be able to connect it directly to your computer, but you can still use it to transfer your film images onto an SD card, and then onto your computer, using a simple and cheap card reader.

Presumably, it works as a stand alone unit, for putting film images onto a card. Your link says "No computer necessary", so it seems to be a plug and play device.

If it works with vista it will work with '7
I have one like this CLICKY LINK and it works fine.
Make sure you follow the instructions on how to set it up, mine can be a bit funny if it's not installed as the paperwork says.

You could do a lot worse than one of the Film2SD ones you linked to above. I like mine because it doesn't need any drivers at all - I just pop the SD card out of the scanner, plug it into any computer (Linux, Windows, Mac, it just needs an SD card adapter and the ability to read JPGs) and upload the images or copy them to an external drive as a backup.
As long as Ilford HP5, developing chemicals, and SD card readers exist, I'll be able to keep using my old film bodies.
