NAT is not a firewall (though it's usually paired with one). And the NAT is usually one hop away from the computer, so it provides no protection against an attack coming from the same network (like a worm on a coworker's laptop).
However, AFAIK Windows 7 does have a built-in firewall, which (depending on the settings) might help protect even against an attack coming from the local network.
