'''Bob Pony OS Beta 2''' is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 7|Windows 7 SP1]] edition, which was created by [[:Category:Bootlegs created by Bob Pony|Bob Pony]], InvoxiPlayGames and srjDesigns. It released on August 5, 2016, after [[Bob Pony OS Beta 1]]. It is based on [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 7|Windows 7]], as opposed to its predecessor being based on [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP]]. It was added to the archive sometime in December 2021.
This was the final version of Bob Pony OS. There were rumors that a "Beta 3" was created at some point (but never actually released), however, it was confirmed by Bob Pony that Beta 3 never existed.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1070584951705186454/1104498353997365358/image.png</ref>
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It serves the same purpose as its predecessor.
The ISO was made using NTLite.
== Changes from Windows 7 SP1 ==
* New setup graphics. The setup OS banner is changed, the setup background has been set to blue, and the setup window's borders are now gray
* New pre-OOBE graphics
* New OOBE graphics
* New login graphics. The OS banner is changed
* The Explorer shell has been removed in favor of a brand new shell, made in VB.NET. Amusingly, this skips the ie4uinit process entirely, and produces strange results when trying to access essential Explorer functions.
* Windows Classic is present as the default theme, rather than Windows Aero
* Mozilla Firefox 48.0
==
* The registered owner is set to "Windows User".
