Windows 7 FaceBooK Edition 2012 is a bootleg Windows edition created by BossKanae, released in August 2012. It was one of BossKanae's first releases. Once considered lost, it was rediscovered by Dartz on August 9, 2022 and uploaded to the Crusty Windows archive on the same day.
This mod was also used as the OS on VM 0b0t, a VM on CollabVM, since the 6th revision before being superseded by Windows 7 Pony Edition 2015 on the 8th revision.
Description
The OS is a slim version of Windows 7, with most of its features removed. It is evidently based on Windows 7 Angry Birds (which was released a few months prior) as the folder icons (featuring Angry Birds Space) are the same. The ISO was created using RT 7 Lite.
On the first boot of the OS, the user is prompted to optionally install various software through the pre-included post installation wizard by the OS customization tool used to make the bootleg. This prompt does not reappear upon reboot, but can be opened again by opening "Unattended Soft" on the Desktop.
Several of the operating system's images have been replaced with a graphic displaying the bootleg's name as well as pictures of a child smiling. The background has been replaced with a giant cartoon smiley face on top of a rainbow background.
The bootleg is known to be unstable, many programs refuse to launch and system functions will break for seemingly no reason at all.
Changes from Windows 7
- The setup background has been changed with a giant cartoon smiley face.
- The start orb has been replaced with a smiley face.
- The background has been replaced with the same smiley face from the setup pointing a finger at the user.
- The "logging on" screen has been replaced again with the same cartoon smiley face.
- The "Computer", "Network", "Recycle Bin", "Control Panel", and user folder icons have all been changed. Explorer has also had some icons changed.

Notes
- In Setup, many special symbols do not render correctly and check boxes look rather strange. The former is due to Marlett, a system font needed for various system symbols not loading in properly, and the latter may be due to a theme issue.
- During the OOBE portion, the dialog is rendered in Classic mode, probably due to DWM breaking.
- The included AdGuard installer on the CD is an online installer and therefore cannot be installed because the original servers where the files were hosted are no longer up.
- Antiviruses (notably Avast) tend to detect explorer.exe as Virut and will attempt to delete it, crippling the system.
- Occasionally a bug will occur where the logonui wallpaper is replaced with the one from the Angry Birds edition.
- The icons for the Recycle Bin are switched, with the full icon being empty and vice versa.
