== 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. It comes with pre-packaged VMware drivers, around the VMware 11-12 era.
 
A majority of the OS branding has been made greener, 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The project was originally made in 2020, where it was featured in a now deleted live stream.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 An archived version from both October 2020 and [https://web.archive.org/web/20210124195725/https://grass7.tk/ January 2021] are still available.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.
 
== Changes from Windows 7 SP1 ==
* The creator of this mod bundled their own VMware graphics driver, which causes issues with newer versions of VMware. To fix this, you must boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the "VMware SVGA 3D" driver under Display Adapters in the Device Manager.
* 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. Sounds like a pretty good way to get burnout if you ask me! The other file is a CHANGELOG file, which documents what edits to the OS were made.
