Tiny7 is a bootleg Windows 7 RTM edition, which was created by eXPerience. It released on August 31, 2009, and was added to the archive in late 2022. It is one of the earliest Windows 7 bootlegs, along with Windows 8 xTreme and Windows 7 Black Edition 2009 R1, releasing mere months after Windows 7's original RTM release.

It is notable for being used as an OS on VM1 in the early days of another Computernewb project, CollabVM (around 2015-2016).

Description

The OS is a slimmed down version of Windows 7 RTM. Many features and drivers have been removed.

On the first boot of the OS, it installs several software automatically without any input from the end user. This does not happen again and the software can be uninstalled through Control Panel. It applies several tweaks and installs several pieces of software, and also automatically activates Windows. It also sets a custom wallpaper.

The OS looks the exact same as stock Windows 7, other than a custom wallpaper which has been applied.

The ISO was made using vLite 1.2 on Windows 7 RTM.
