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.

Changes from Windows 7 RTM

Look and feel

1 new wallpaper. All of the other themes have had it applied. The default Windows 7 theme does not have the wallpaper, you are only given it after a restart. You can manually apply it though.

Software

Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18
Everything 1.2.1.371
HashTab 2.1.1
Foxit Reader 3.0.1817 (cracked, registered to Olivier Guillory)
WinRAR 3.90 (cracked, registered to Vinayak Ganapathy)

Updates

DirectX 9.0c

Notes

Bootleg quirks

The modern VMware Tools' installers will not let you install them due to the lack of Service Pack 1, you can either manually install the drivers or use an older version of VMware Tools (make sure to change the hardware compatibility to the respective Tools version).
There is a folder on the desktop titled "eXPerience", which is a reoccurring trope in eXPerience's bootlegs, which include various software. They are as follows:

An internet shortcut to the Comodo Firewall website
Desktop Icon Layout (DeskSave 8.2.1)
Hibernation (Enable Hibernation.bat and Disable Hibernation.bat, runs powercfg -h with on and off arguments respectively)
Keyboard Settings (Quick Access.bat, just runs intl.cpl)
Keyboard Shortcuts (Shortcuts.txt, a text file full of various keyboard shortcuts)
Registry Backup (Backup Your Registry.bat, runs regedit /e "Full Registry Backup.reg", has checks if the file already exists it will abort itself)
TCPIP Patcher (Universal Tcpip.sys Patch v1.2)
and User Password.bat (control userpasswords2)

There is an AutoIt v3 compiled script on the desktop, titled "Enable Quick Launch.exe". What it does is self-explanatory.
The taskbar is unlocked, and uses Small Icons.
