== 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 mod is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. There were multiple betas of this bootleg released, the other being [[Bob Pony OS Beta 2]] which is based on [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 7|Windows 7]] instead of [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP|Windows XP]]. There was a third beta but was never released, but it is rumored to exist. This bootleg is broken due to LogonUI being broken and .NET not being slipstreamed in and having to be manually installed from Safe Mode.
 
The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3 on Windows 8 or higher.
