Windows 7 Apple Logo X32 (otherwise known as just Windows 7 Apple Logo) is a bootleg Windows 7 RTM edition, which was created by zaxo7. It released on December 22, 2013, and was added to the archive on November 24, 2022.

Description

The OS is a slim version of Windows 7 based on Tiny7, as many of its features and drivers have been removed. Appropriate for the name, the OS prominently features the Apple logo across the setup and in the background of the default install.

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 also runs a bootloader crack, and a watermark remover afterwards. It applies registry tweaks as well. It also runs a WinRAR self-extractor which drops three things, a shortcut to Internet Explorer (unupdated, obviously), an image which features Arabic writing, containing the Basmala, and a credit to the author and the forum, presumably where they posted the bootleg to (and post bootlegs to frequently), and a folder containing the CLSID for God Mode, aptly named "master folder", with the author's name.

Because of WinMetro, upon logging on, it loads to a Windows 8-esque start screen.

Other than that, the OS itself looks mostly like the standard Windows 7 as there are no custom themes or icons (though the start button is changed).

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

Changes from Windows 7 RTM

The setup background has been replaced with a spacey background with the Apple logo in the center. The desktop background has also been replaced with it
New login graphics. The background appears to be a stock image.
New default theme, and wallpaper
2 new themes included, all of them being new regional themes. All of the default regional themes' wallpapers have been reset to just the default wallpaper that comes with this bootleg.
The default "Administrator" flower avatar appears to have been replaced with a cat's eye with some Arabic text on the bottom.
The start orb has been replaced with a blue button with the Windows logo displayed.

Notes

This bootleg has similarities to another bootleg named Windows 7 Assassin's Creed, namely it also being based on Windows 7 RTM (32-bit), and the broken shortcut, which share the same CLSID. You can also use that same fix to remove it.
The bootleg author is rumored to be from Iraq, because their name is a reference to a city in Iraq, particularly the Kurdistan region.
The OS can be set to Arabic after installation in the Regional Settings. You can also set additional options for text to be displayed in French language, as this bootleg has MUIs for it, for some reason.
VirtualBox Guest Additions are broken on this OS and glitch out.
Foxit Reader has leftover recent files list information, probably because its registry file was made from just clicking "Export" on the Foxit Reader in the Registry Editor, and the person making the repacked Foxit installer forgot to get rid of it.
