'''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 jrsDesigns. 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.
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It serves the same purpose as its predecessor, however, unlike its predecessor, the OS is actually functional.
The ISO was made using NTLite.
== Changes from Windows 7 SP1 ==
=== Minor changes ===
* The Winver banner has been changed
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* 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
* The setup EULA has been rewritten
* 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.▼
=== Look and feel ===
* Windows Classic is present as the default theme, rather than Windows Aero due to the weird way the new shell is implemented
== Software ==
== Notes ==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* Supposedly, there would've been an app store (officially the BP OS Software Center). There are mentions of it in the EULA, and there is even a link to it in the Start menu (which just shows a "Coming soon" message when you open it). But, it was never fully finished.
▲* The Explorer shell has been removed in favor of a brand new shell, made entirely in VB.NET of course. Amusingly, this skips the ie4uinit process entirely, and produces strange results when trying to access essential Explorer functions.
* The registered owner is set to "Windows User".
