Solution
Update: After reading through a few other posts I went looking for the "allow to interact with desktop" that I kept reading about, but had no luck finding it. I did, however, find another solution for fixing the issue.
1) Start the game and join a server
2) Alt+tab out of the game and open task manager > Processes.
3)Navigate to "PnkBstrA.exe"
4) Right click, select "properties".
5) Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
6) Tick the box that says "Run this program in Compatibility mode for:"
7) Select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)"
8) Click "apply"
Go back to task manager and find "PnkBstrB.exe" and repeat the above steps.
I played for about 2 hours this morning with no PB kicks.

I don't know about BF2, but CoD4 and CoD5 both ran quite nicely on W7. The only problem is you are either stuck on non-punkbuster servers with hackers, or you are playing single player.
I find it hard to believe that PB would have to do much to make it compatible with W7. :/
