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

1 new theme included, which would be the Zune theme. It doesn't copy, because it doesn't exist on the CD
