The Arch Linux name and logo are recognized trademarks.

Looks like infringement to me...

Is this a custom Win7? With the Arch logo? Looks like a joint operation with the MS bloodhounds to me :-D

Atleast it's a less obvious ripoff than the other case some time ago, when a company ripped off the logo. That time they didn't even bother to change the colour.

It's just another Warez version of Windows 7, people build all kinds of custom and modded installs for people who are pirating Windows.

I doubt Warez guys care about trademark infringement either
