The XSI Roadkill tool is essentially a python script, so it should work with XSI 7, though it might need a recompile to ensure 100% stability. Though from what I hear rumour wise, Softimage are planning something on the UV side, hopefully using their ICE tech, which would be awesome. The UV tools in XSI are very underated and alot better than Maya's, whose toolset hasn't really been looked at in a while. Max's are slightly better, but have been iffy for years. For me right now XSI has the overall edge, but it just lacks a properly implemented unwrap tool.
Good choice in buying XSI too. Investing in Max for the long term games market is not a smart idea.
