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

Minor changes

The text-mode setup OS text is changed to "Bob Pony OS"

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

The Setup now uses the Windows 2000 style

Look and feel

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 on the CD

Notes

Remarks

This bootleg is broken. It will not proceed past the first boot.

CD contents and other info

The CD label is set to "BOBPONYOS".

WINNT.SIF metadata

The organization is set to "BobPony.ga Network".

+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 Zune theme will fail to copy, ignore it, it won't affect the install.
+* This bootleg is broken. It will not proceed past the first boot.
-* The bootleg is extremely hard to get working. Since the logonui is broken, you can't use it normally, you have to boot into safe mode. The shell is also .NET based, and since RunOnce is never parsed in safe mode (the NET framework is not part of the OS, it is automatically installed), you will have to manually install .NET framework to get everything working.
