Windows 8.1 Panther Edition is a bootleg Windows 8.1 edition, which was created by BossKanae. It released on October 22, 2014, and was added to the archive on December 28, 2021.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 8.1 ISO. It is themed after panthers. It comes with many programs, themes and wallpapers, new icons, and system tweaks.

On the first boot of the OS, a resource patcher will automatically pop up and install all of the UI enhancements.

It is unattended, and preactivated, using KMSpico. The ISO was made using WinReducer v1.11 and WinToolkit.

Bootleg quirks

"img100.jpg", a lock screen wallpaper, has had its watermark done improperly. It shows as "B o ss K a n a e S y s" (replace spaces with newlines), instead of "B o s s K a n a e S y s", like how it's supposed to be.
Libraries are hidden by default.
There are 6 deleted images in the wallpaper's thumbnail cache.
