This was the final version of Bob Pony OS. There were rumors that a "Beta 3" was created at some point (but never actually released), however, it was confirmed by Bob Pony that Beta 3 never existed.<ref>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1070584951705186454/1104498353997365358/image.png</ref>
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It serves the same purpose as its predecessor, however, unlike its predecessor, the OS is actually functional.
The ISO was made using NTLite.
== Changes from Windows 7 SP1 ==
=== Minor changes ===
* The Winver banner has been changed
=== Changes in pre-desktop procedures ===
* Windows Classic is present as the default theme, rather than Windows Aero▼
* New setup graphics. The setup OS banner is changed, the setup background has been set to blue, and the setup window's borders are now gray
* The setup EULA has been rewritten
* New pre-OOBE graphics
* New OOBE graphics
* New login graphics. The OS banner is changed
=== Look and feel ===
▲* Windows Classic is present as the default theme, rather than Windows Aero due to the weird way the new shell is implemented
== Software ==
* Mozilla Firefox 48.0
==
=== Bootleg quirks ===
* Supposedly, there would've been an app store (officially the BP OS Software Center). There are mentions of it in the EULA, and there is even a link to it in the Start menu (which just shows a "Coming soon" message when you open it). But, it was never fully finished.
* The Explorer shell has been removed in favor of a brand new shell, made entirely in VB.NET of course. Amusingly, this skips the ie4uinit process entirely, and produces strange results when trying to access essential Explorer functions.
* The registered owner is set to "Windows User".
