'''Grass7''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 7|Windows 7 SP1]] edition, which was created by Zinffo. It released in 2020, and was added to the archive on May 15, 2022. As of 2023, the bootleg has gone under multiple contributors, and is still being developed to this day.
== Description ==▼
The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO, which heavily focuses on giving the OS a grassy look, by making everything as bright green and adding as many nature and grassy field wallpapers as possible to the OS, to the point of absurdity. It includes one new program, ''Grass7 Version'', which is just a wrapper for launching a simple HTA program which reports the (hardcoded) version number. It includes a new default wallpaper.
A majority of the OS branding has been made greener, including some of the default applications.
▲==Description==
It comes with pre-packaged VMware drivers, dated around the VMware 11-12 era.
▲This project's origins are from 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream. Multiple videos, mostly from children are still available. The website, '''grass7.tk''', was once available, but was shut down in early 2021. It was also online for a short period of time in 2022. An archived version from both October 2020 and January 2021 are still available.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210124195725/https://grass7.tk/</ref>

▲* The creator
* In the RTM version of Grass7, at the product key entry screen, you are told that it only accepts '''32-bit''' Windows 7 Ultimate keys.
* There are 2 text files that get dropped to the root of the C: drive, one of which is a CREDITS file which documents the author's name and what editions are planned to come out. Apparently, at the time of writing, 3 other editions would've released at the same month Grass7's release took place. The other file is a CHANGELOG file, which documents what edits to the OS were made.
