▲'''Grass7''' (jokingly called '''Windows 7 Nuclear Edition''' or '''Ass7''') is a bootleg Windows edition created by Grass7 Project, released in 2020 and uploaded to the archive on 15 May 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 makinggiving manythe ofOS thea UIgrassy elementslook, by making everything as bright green and givingadding as many nature and grassy field wallpapers as possible to the OS, ato brandthe newpoint lookof themedabsurdity. afterIt grassincludes andone naturenew program, ''Grass7 Version'', which includesis just a newwrapper defaultfor wallpaper andlaunching a Canadasimple regionHTA themeprogram withwhich reports the wallpaper(hardcoded) huesversion changednumber. toIt greenincludes a new default wallpaper.
 
AlmostA allmajority of the defaultOS themesbranding (excluding the Classic theme) havehas been made greener, even including some of the default applications.
 
The project was originally made in 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream. Multiple videos, mostly from young 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 An archived version from both October 2020 and [https://web.archive.org/web/20210124195725/https://grass7.tk/ January 2021] are still available.
 
It comes with pre-packaged VMware drivers, dated around the VMware 11-12 era.

* A new application, "Grass7 Version" was added, which is simply an HTA program that reports the version number

▲== Changes from Windows 7 SP1 ==
== Notes ==▼

=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* New setup graphics
* New boot screen, only available when you first boot into the Setup. You need to install it manually however to get it in the actual OS. It gets dropped to the root of the C: drive.
* New OOBE graphics
* New login graphics

* 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.
