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 Setup now uses the Windows 2000 style
  • A new VB.NET shell like in Beta 2 is included, which replaces the default shell
  • One 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".
