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.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It serves the same purpose as its predecessor.

The ISO was made using NTLite.

Changes from Windows 7 SP1

• 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
• New pre-OOBE graphics
• New OOBE graphics
• New login graphics. The OS banner is changed
• The Explorer shell has been removed in favor of a brand new shell, made in VB.NET. Amusingly, this skips the ie4uinit process entirely, and produces strange results when trying to access essential Explorer functions.
• Windows Classic is present as the default theme, rather than Windows Aero

Software

• Mozilla Firefox 48.0
