Bob Pony OS Beta 1 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Bob Pony. It released on April 16, 2016, and was added to the archive in December 2021.

There were multiple betas of this bootleg released, the other being Bob Pony OS Beta 2 which is based on Windows 7.

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. It is preactivated.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3 on Windows 8 or higher.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

  • The text-mode setup OS text is changed to "Bob Pony OS"
  • The Setup now uses the Windows 2000 style
  • A new VB.NET shell like in Beta 2 is included, which replaces the default shell
  • 1 new theme included, which would be the Zune theme. It doesn't copy, because it doesn't exist

Notes

  • This bootleg is broken. It will not proceed past the first boot.
  • The organization is set to "BobPony.ga Network".
  • The computer name is set to "BPOS-PC".
  • The workgroup name is set to "workgroup".
  • The CD label is set to "BOBPONYOS".
