Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: Exa on December 08, 2006, 03:53:47 PM
While I'm reading the forum, I noticed several nicknames for OS-tans (for XP-tan and 98/98SE-tan). But what are the other nicknames (if there are more)?
Title: OS-tan nicknames

Well...let's see:
98-tan: Hacchan
98SE-tan: Secchan
Me-tan: Emui-san
Vista-chan: Vistan
XP Professional: Saseko
Mozilla Firefox: Firefox-ko
XP Home (Female): Homeko
XP Home (Male): Homeo
98 (Alternate): Yamada
I think there are a few others...

That's about it for the established nicknames.  ^___^
Which means this thread is gonna come to a fairly premature end if we don't use it to establish some new nicknames.  -v-
Bare in mind that there are still many canon OS-tans out there without nicknames (e.g., 95-tan, Linux-tan) and lots of new ones who need some.  ^__^

Here's some, for example:

Commodore PET:  PETchan
Commdore C64:  PANchan
Amiga:  Miggy, Lorraine

And everytime the Captain or I speak of "The Prophet, The Goddess and The Holy Kitten", that's us describing certain OS-tans that require daily worship.  -v-

I've seen 95-tan be called Babasan or something like that ("Baba" meaning "hag"), and OSX-tan called Shian (which is the Romanization of how to spell "Cyan" in Katakana. Also Cyan was OSX's first codename. But then the cat theme went into favor with the specific releases)

In that case, me likey "Babasan" very much.  ^___^

I think I've heard 2k-tan being referred to as "Nisen" (which I think is a literal way to say 2000)... doesn't really sound cute or appealing though -_-;;;
Title: OS-tan nicknames

That's cause she's supposed to be cool and professional... the cuteness is just a mandatory OS-tan bonus.... Ã,¬vÃ,¬

I dont think ecom is any threat to 95-sama as long as her leg is that disjointed -_-  and since she all but toppled apple and established her company as the dominant, I fell your probobly underestimating her abilitys.  

I shall have to contemplate a nickname for the beloved goddess now that others can appricate tho...

and moseko.. thats good to know for when i finish the pic with her, xps and 360tan

Fufufu... her leg isn't disjointed, you just can't seem to stretch to save your life.  ^___^
(and I'm shocked too).

Contortionists can put themselves in very unnerving positions.  -.-

But if you insist, here's another pic -- chock full o' 95-tan whooping:

Come to think about it, ZShadow, where did the name come from?
If it does turn out that we can dig up more info on this XPMCE-tan than the mutant hybrid version, I wouldn't mind making a major shift at the Wiki.  -v-

I also remembered that Vistan is sometimes also known as Visbou (IIRC, that's the ninja girl's nickname and the screwhaired schoolgirl is Vistake) and the green+blue-haired girl with the transparent skirt is known as Frida.

And I didn't know that XPMCE-tan had a nickname!

Aw well, you're the one saying that you don't care about pandering to fanboys, so when it comes down to it you draw what you want to draw.  After all, how many times have we seen XP-tan morbidly obese (after pigging over ungodly amounts of food)? Not cause it's her design but simply because that's how they felt like drawing her.... -v-
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: CaptBrenden on February 19, 2007, 10:01:12 PM
every picture ive seen of moseko is like that tho.. I dont pander to fanboys but I do try to keep things as they were originaly designed.. as they arnt really my designs to change.  its the same way i get upset when people mess with 3.1s design too much
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: C-Chan on February 19, 2007, 10:05:22 PM
Aa sou, you're talking about the "manly" 3.1-sama's aren't ya?  -v-'

Well then, think of it this way,...
It's either XPMCE-tan drawn with just a little extra more of her to love....  -v-

Or its back to the XPME mutant.  ^____^'

Well, meaning of each names in Japanese anyone ? (Tsubasa=wing) Right ?
Homeko=?
Inu=?
..................
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: Aurora Borealis on February 19, 2007, 11:54:41 PM
Inu = dog
Home = home (however "Homeko" is prounounced with Japanese syllables so the e isn't silent)
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: windsword on February 20, 2007, 12:54:55 AM
Homeko = home + ko
ko = kid
homeko = home kid
Since Homeko is a manga writer, mostly she never go out of her house :)

Homeo = home + o
0 = king (O is japanese pun for word oh or ou, it mean: king)
Homeo = home king
May be the house that used by the OS is owned by Homeo :)

Saseko, what the meaning of saseko anyway?

Also, Komepo, is she actualy US version of XP pro? because she's blonde and i saw comic about JP version os the windows met US version. Also in 4 panels comic, Komepo arrive in japan and having problem with restaurant (banning saseko) and founded by Homeo who tough if Komepo is Saseko who bleaching her hair.

um yeah... thank McDonalds.  America has one of the largest obesity levels in the world.  too much fast food and convenience stuff.
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: NewYinzer on February 21, 2007, 08:00:08 PM
Now if we had another 300,000,000 people in America and people used public transit, there would be no obesity epidemic and the air would be cleaner. We would also have people to do all the jobs Americans don't want to. Like produce consumer electronics. What we need are more immigrants. And I know where to get some.

Moseko?
;068

she does look fat!

BTW this makes me think of what happens to the future os-tans? of course they would have very large RAM so what happens to their chest size? do they still conform to the RAM=Chest Size? then all of the next Os-tans will become  o_o

Well, Moseko sounds a bit strange - put the "e" out --> Mosko - and it reminds me "Moscow". And she really needs dieting - but I fear it could have its side-effects...

And about mentioing the RAM=Chest Size: Vista needs much more RAM then Xp, so probably we'll end with HUGE breasts :D But to be serious, I don't see in the current Vistan designs such parameters. I think, at least the Ultimate (or whatever is the most powerful version called) Vistan could have these big ones - XP could be jealous :p
Also, the Ultimate Edition Vistan could be tall - a bit of pun on Ultimate Girls :D

I'm not so sure. Because her requirements not become effectively lower, just realatively lower compared to the newer systems. Also, OS-tan desings aren't changing so dramatically just because time has passed.

Title: OS-tan nicknames

Oldest so far is DR-DOS-tan (aka CP/M), no?  ^___^

Circa 1975 perhaps?  ^v^'

Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: zjhentohlauedy on February 23, 2007, 02:15:48 AM

well, what about Minix-tan? Do her 4 MB Ram usage really make her a memhog?
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: C-Chan on February 23, 2007, 09:06:47 AM
Like I said before, "memory size" should be relative to the age at which the OS was released, so it really shouldn't matter that much.  -v-

Even when Minix-tan was released, 4MB (or whatever she used back in circa 1990) was relatively small.  '.'

On the other hand, Apple Lisa-tan also has 4MB of RAM but is pretty well-endowed due to the fact she was born in 1981!

Better to think of it that way, or else it really WILL be a problem in the future when (whatever is left of) Windows fanboys start drawing XP-tan with inverse breasts due to using <1 TB of RAM.  'v'

Since this is a free art form with rules not set in stone, you shouldn't let them consume you.  -.-
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: Kami-Tux on February 23, 2007, 09:46:04 AM
*rofl*

I think Minix used less RAM than 4 MB at 1991... She ran on 8086s at that time which only could address 1 MB...

Quote from: "CaptBrenden"-_- seriosly... people need to remember the chest size is not an exact thing...  they talk like its the all defining rule to it. forget the bloody rule!

Okay, then why this "rule" (which is not really a rule, more like a tip or an advice) was invented at all? Or you don't like it because it means less or none lolis? ;)
Title: OS-tan nicknames
Post by: C-Chan on February 23, 2007, 01:08:42 PM
Haha!  Less and less Windows lolis.... ^__^
More incentive to switch to less memory-hungry modern platforms.  ^.^

Maybe that rule/tip thingy doesn't sound so bad after all.  ^____^

I'm guessing it was invented for the same reason Gin-sama was made to like that bacterial lactic acid stuff,... it just sorta sprung up.  ^v^
Coupled with the Toshiaki lust for perversity, and you've got yourself a winning design formula that gets passed down to the following generations.  -.-
