Using EXIF MetaData in Filename

I'm considering installing your renaming tool as I've just seen it recommended on the PC Pro Magazine CD.  I have a couple of quick questions.

Will it work with Windows 7?
Can I rename files on a network drive, or do they need to be on the local HDD?
Can I use the [Date Taken] from the EXIF data and include this in the Filename, in the format yyyyMMdd?  Reason being is that I like to include in the filename, the date a photo was taken. Then when I send it to Bonusprint to be printed they print the filename on the back and I can see the date.

It looks like a great tool, so I'm hoping it'll be able to do what I need it to do.  Thanks.
