Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It adds Bob Pony branding, as seen in the name. It adds a brand new shell (which is supposedly intended to make using the OS easier), and one theme. This bootleg is broken due to LogonUI being broken.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

  • The setup style is changed to the older Windows 2000 setup
  • Bob Pony branding has been added
  • A new shell written in VB.NET has been added, which replaces the default shell
  • A Zune theme is included, which will immediately fail upon attempting to copy
