'''BedOS''' (named after the author) is a bootleg [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 9x|Windows 9x]] edition, which was created by SergeiSergey Bedrin (Сергей Бедрин) of eWafr-Bedrin. The very first version of BedOS (72214-1 English, based on Windows 98) released on April of 2001, while 2.0 (Russian) released on May of 2002, 2.0 Lite May 2003, 3.0 OSX (based on Windows Me; first one to come in ISO format) April 2004. It is one of the earliest Windows modifications to have all the now-omnipresent traits of a Windows bootleg, new look, modified cursors and sounds, adding in new software, etc. It is notable for being one of the few ''shareware'' bootlegs.
 
BedOS was particularly popular in computer clubs and similar places in Europe, where it was often installed to evade antipiracy checks from law enforcement by differentiating itself from stock Windows.
