I was reading through the comics listed here on the site, and I was wondering about something:
Given the nature of Vista, I wonder if it would be more proper of Vis-tan to call Microsoft itself "Master" and Toshiaki as simply "User"...
...and how would her sisters react to that sort of nomenclature?
Hehe, right... \begin[30 minutes]{anti-M$rant}[cut out for brevity, swearwords and crimethink]\end{anti-M$rant}
I guess most Windows-tans will not like Vis-tan anyways... she has a complete UNIX-subsystem in the ultimate edition... *something pink chases Vis-tan shouting something like 'you honorless traitor!'*
Quote\begin[30 minutes]{anti-M$rant}[cut out for brevity, swearwords and crimethink]\end{anti-M$rant}
maybe Microsoft haters shouldnt participate in serios conversation about Microsoft OStans.. since it drops to strait bashing -_-
Still interesting choice of words.. nomenclature.. I think you were trying for honorifixs tho.. -_- nomenlature is like.. part names.
SO Vistan would refer to Toshiaki as "Chibi-Ningen"? XD
well, this is why I did not rant but just indicated my desire to do so. The only thing I seriously mentioned was that 95-tan hates Macs, Macs use Unix as basis and Vis-tan is more compliant to that than any Windows before - and therefore the reason for 95-tan to dislike Vis-tan.

What do you mean by this?
oh I wasn't trying to bash...but it is well known that Vista takes a lot of the computing experience out of the user's hands in the name of anti-piracy.
I didn't want to dwell on it, it's just that it seems to me that should be reflected in Vis-tan's personality, like sometimes she'll outright refuse to jump to Toshiaki's requests, or unilaterally decide to do something because she thinks she knows better than "User" what is right.
Shes a very stubborn girl -_-
I guess CaptBrenden referred to me as the M$-basher. I have quite a reputation for being anti-closed-source.
Plus, every OS has had a reason to hate the next.. simply because she is then outdated. In digital complex im putting in a series of issues where 3.1 shows up and trys to sabotage her sisters for a time because she hates them for making her out dated. tho she will learn to be friends for them for the sake of master.
but like I said, Im not sure about vistas personality yet.. ive only started to use the program.
tho on top of the points kami pointed out, the interface is alot like the mac interface.. (one of the points I do dislike about it)
Sorry...I honestly wasn't trying to start a debate on whether Vista was "bad" or "good" :( I was just going by what I read in Vista's EULA, and since many of the comics I read were making comedy out of the different quirks of the different versions of the OS's (especially WinME), I just saw some comedy potential, is all....
Sorry if my words were suggesting otherwise :(
oh sorry it was me getting off topic. the MS bashing around here gets a rise out of me every time. I was trying to link things that people say about vista to things that might be in her personality. However I havent seen too many comics with her yet so I cant tell you how her personality is actually potrayed.
However like we mentioned, she may have a sort of "defend you against yourself" sorta stubborn additude
well i wonder why her chest(maybe it should be another word-v- english nigate-v-) is so small... vista's UI is much more beautiful than xp isn't it?
Quote from: "Lovee"well i wonder why her chest(maybe it should be another word-v- english nigate-v-) is so small... vista's UI is much more beautiful than xp isn't it?
And she must eat a lot, too, considering the requirements of the OS...
oy oy oy.. the rules for character design are very loose. it alows for more interesting characters. I mean, look at them.. age of the system dosent efect the age of the character.. and the 98s are flatter then 95 thats for cirtain. or how about ME? shes flat as a pencil board, moreso then the 98 twins. making vista an over eater with a huge chest would be taking XPs spotlight so they are probobly giving her differnt traits
Heh, so this rules are not rules but only possibilities right? I can imagine a rivalry between XP-tan and Vistan because of similar traits... ;054
or boringness of the characters -_- thats why i dont like the mac girls.. they are all.. vinilla. Bunch of cat girls with differnt patterns. no real personality. hell.. there is even a huge differnce between XP pro and XP home and they are the same OS pretty much! or now XP MCE is a bunch differnt too o_o the mac girls lack flavor. I like when all the characters are drasticly differnt
Heh, I think only Mac OS X characters are similar, not all Mac OS characters. Also, Linux distribution characters are similar , too (okay, they are similar as OSes, too). And I don't say same desgin/character, just similarities. More like, Vistan can have more personality (besides the rivalry I mentioned before - hey, a similar rivalry can be possible between the RL!)
Or multiple personalities due to the unusual number of different versions... O_o

Haha! Now who's bashing who.... `v'
Remember, they only lack flavor cause of flavorless artists. Just you wait till WE'RE done with them, and next thing you'll be begging to use OSX! ^v^
Now as for what Emi-san said, I wonder if there's an anime equivalent for that kind of personality. Maybe it's because of Sailor Fuku, but Urd from Ah My Goddes! comes to mind for various reasons. -v-
Didn't know Ultimate Edition had UNIX support, btw. The "rip-off of OSX" claims are starting to reverberate more. -.-
Quote from: "C-Chan"Now as for what Emi-san said, I wonder if there's an anime equivalent for that kind of personality. Maybe it's because of Sailor Fuku, but Urd from Ah My Goddes! comes to mind for various reasons. -v-
Asuna from Negima or Suiseseki comes to mind more actually, since I don't think Vista's gonna be the perverted seductive type (although, having Aeroglass is making me VERY interested... )
Haha... with the kind of artists that draw her, don't be so sure.... `v'
Besides, I would have to nix Suiseiseki-sama, at least for Sailor Fuku's design (not for my favorite Rozen Maiden vista). Vista might be bossy, but certainly not the conservative-type. -v-
Haven't watched Negima yet, though. -.-
Absolutely not conservative...
*imagines his own version with see-through Aeroglass clothing*
Now you're cooking with fire. ^__^
Don't know about the Ninja design, though... in fact, don't know if the Niijura folk plan on having multi-version designs. -v-
The era of clean-cut OS-tans are over, it seems. -.-
I really think the multiple design version works the best, since Vista is the only OS I've seen (so far as I know) that has multiple versions released simultaneously.
Maybe she can be someone who is basically the same person, but just with different demeanors and abilities depending on the version, so we can have the home-girl, the meganeko businesswoman and Onee-chan versions of Vista XD
One question: Is there serious differences between the requirements of the different versions?
I'm under the impression that most of the differences in requirements for the various versions are primarily HD based (capacity) since the higher end versions only add more features and such, and you can disable features at will to adjust to your system, so the minumum specs for Ultimate would be the same for the Home Basic, except for the amount of HD space you'll need.
And if we base the character designs on the optimal settings? (So not with disabled features, but to the fully shining OS) In that case, we can have significantly different designs / personalities including the breast size, the hunger and similar things...

Home Basic does not have Aero iirc thus needs less RAM.
Quote from: "Exa"Heh, I think only Mac OS X characters are similar
Actually, that makes sense more or less, since honestly there isn't *that* much difference between the versions like there is with the different versions of Windows. Though if I had the drawing talent, I'd put "brushed metal" effects on Panther and Tiger.
Anyone tried a Leopard-tan yet?
Oh? You missed Tsubashi's post, then? ^__^'
http://ostan-collections.net/post-17324.html#17324
We know at least that Aurora and an anonymous artist have drawn a Leopard-tan to date. Naturally, the excitement over OSX 10.5 pales in comparison to the veritable mosh pit of Vista submissions. -v-
Quote from: "C-Chan"Didn't know Ultimate Edition had UNIX support, btw. The "rip-off of OSX" claims are starting to reverberate more. -.-
How about a Vis-tan Ultimate who is a cat-girl but is in denial of it? ;) *heh*
Sometimes to defeat someone you must turn their weapons against them...
I've lost count of the number of catgirls designs already submitted for Vista-tan (of any version). ^^;
I think, Vista-tan is cute. But there's still a thing, I don't understand though.
Her boobies are like... Almost not there ^^;;
Since Windows Vista requires so much ram... Why is she drawn like that?
To me, that just makes no sense at all...
But her personality should be like... Umm... Violent, yea ^^;;
Since Vista is so well-protected, she should be like... Not letting boys come near her x3
That's just my thoughts...
Well protected? Muhahahahahahahah!
And as the pig stated elsewhere, it's artistic license.
The pig...? Ã,¬vÃ,¬'
[sarcasm] Oh, and Vista IS well-protected... from those V-I-L-E and E-V-I-L consumers who have the NERVE to BUY our bloated products at bloated prices!!! It's always better to police and punish them rather than the innocent criminals, thieves, hackers, virus writers and spammers.... -.-
Sorry, the breast size is artistic license, the well-protected... well... \begin[Linux]{prejudices}it's an M$ OS... Security there m,eans being able to üress escape on a login screen to log in without username and password. And that security leaks will be patched ion the next patchday... or the one after it\end{prejudices}
Sorry, had blood in my caffeinestream when posting.
Haha,.. yeah, once that caffeine's subsided, consider rereading my post again. I think you missed something important. ^^'
You're right, the only things which are fixed out of schedule are the WGA- and DRM- programs. I forgot that. Great OS, really!
Funny how WGA sounds deceptively like a harmless computer display standard. ^^;
If I were a bit more paranoid, I'd think that were intentional. ^.^'
Added after 1 minutes:
Edit: Well what'd ya know,... it IS also a display standard!! ^V^
I thought VGA was... and SVGA...
But you are right. One SciFi said sometrhing like: "If you plan somthing sinister give it a harmless name..." kinda like that.
once AGAIN this is not a bash vista thread T_T take that else where. this is a thread for discussing what vis-tans personality would be like
Haha!! ^v^
That's like saying "Talk about making bread without discussing flour". -v-
In a way, I kinda miss a few of the old Longhorn designs, since quite a few of them depicted her as a beautiful yet power-hungry and megalomaniac girl. That kind of personality would suit most Vista-tan's best, especially since people LOVE megalomania. -v-
(Why else would Sephiroth be more popular than Cloud?)
.
.
.

Except for the Ninja Vista... -v-
Don't know what she is, where she came from and WHY she's even around, but since people love ninjas too for some reason, she's likely here to stay. -v-'
Probably as the Basic edition, but then that wouldn't really be very "ninjaly".... Ã,¬vÃ,¬'

QuoteI really think the multiple design version works the best, since Vista is the only OS I've seen (so far as I know) that has multiple versions released simultaneously.
My favorite idea is to have a version for all six releases.
Very interesting thread...I like the idea that they're a little cozier with Unix and Mac-tans than previous Windows-tans.
How about this:
Home Basic-tan, shown fairly plain (clothes, hair, etc) and when given any more than a basic task has trouble completing it without help or extra software.
Home Premium-tan, shown with styled hair, nice clothes etc and has no trouble with tasks.
Business-tan, Similar to home premium but with a very 2k twist.
Ultimate-tan, much like home premium but with expensive jewelry and nicer clothes and objects like a PDA or bluetooth headset on her. (for all those office functions she has built in as well).
I think they would all act snobbish to all the non-vista M$ based tans. They would generally use the silent treatment with the linux based ones (cause if it doesnt exist its not a threat). With the Mac-tans I suspect they would be two faced, ie. happy and willing to help when around them but very aggravated and spiteful when the macs weren't around (because they feel they have to compete over looks with the mac-tans and over users who keep "cheating" on them by looking at macs).
Between themselves I suspect something like a high school click where they are always moving around like a pack and talking endlessly, that is until a non vista tan comes up.
Quotebecause they feel they have to compete over looks with the mac-tans and over users who keep "cheating" on them by looking at macs
I'm such a cheater, then XD
*Awww, K8, you know you'll always be my best computer!*
I bet the Vistans and XP-tan's wouldn't get along. At all.
You know....
because the XP-tans were (and still are!) popular, beloved, and practically the most famous OS-tans, and the Vistans don't think they can possibly ever live up their sisters in the mind of the public. The XP-tans feel superior, because so many still love them and some believe they are better, but have a little bit of an inferiority thing going on because they feel the Vistans are stealing their glory with cheap glitz.
What a happy family!
Not to mention they (the XP-tans) would be incredibly miffed with Vistan, with XP being discontiuned as a ploy to try and get Vista to sell. Now how's that working out?
http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-5981
Vista should be innocent at first glance, but we all know what lies underneath...
I would argue she would have a manipulative side of her personality, perhaps taking advantage of the other more naive OSs.
Maybe even going as far as once in a while kidnapping XP and trying to force upgrade her? M$ has made it very apparent that they want their users to upgrade to Vista...
When Toshiaki isn't looking, Vista can once in a while sneak away and phone home to Bill?
The vis-ninjas just don't work. As much as I like them, as vista's release approached and the amount of development that was dropped made it very clear how much vista is lacking from the original plans for longhorn.
Just my 2 cents :)
I always prefer +Nijiura+'s artwork of Vis-tan. Since in the actual world, Vista have improved its look. I would really think Vis-tan would have a conservative traits than XP. Just imagining stuff... :D
I've been discussing possible personalities for a Vista-tan, I started here, about two thirds fo the way down, and a lot fo people have contributed:
http://ostan-collections.net/topic-294-100.html
My idea is to portray her as the victim, I'd have a tech-type headset on her, which she uses to stream audio and such, but she can't take it off, because Microsoft installed it as a mind-control device. She thus has no real control over her actions when she reports your DVD rips to the FBI and erases your video card drivers. It's sadly more realistic, the OS is actually better then XP on many levels, and then they went and blew it by stupid 'features' that really just detract from it. To avoid it I have a a dual-boot with XP and ubuntu, Id like Vista's unix-compatibility, but I'm not willing to take the mess that comes with it.
;020 And, it got me thinking... Visbou's pet dog is downright weird as in the MUGEN game, it just stand there, it just rotate its head and, it looks like a demon straight out skateboarding magazine... But I like Visbou. I have MUGEN game, I loved this game.

I didn't think that Visbou, was actually Vista-tan, for the fact to me, she(?) looked too much like a boy...now that I know I'm gonna re add'er to my roster...
There are several Vista-tans that it's hard to chose. However, I am more inclined to one of the variants that is a blonde haired girl with a black dress and gloves with two vista hourglass, one small one as a halo and another thats like a hula hoop.
I like the modest Vistan with white hair and the blue seifuku - the ninja and the other seifuku variation never really appealed to me. As for personality, it seems as though we will never know - the artists of nijiura work in mysterious ways!
*pushes up glasses*
I like Visbou (Vistan Ninja).... T-T Because her pet, Visdog is weird - I played around in MUGEN - she's fun to play, but in some situation, she's totally useless... T-T
old thread, already discussed, necroposting, etc.
but my opinion (i get the feeling I wrote this before, but I don't remember where...):
Quote from: "Alfamille"I always prefer +Nijiura+'s artwork of Vis-tan.
seconded
I think she would be very obedient most of the time, and be very polite and kind. But she's a Yandere. You don't want to make her angry, just as in this livejournal entry that has been posted before (http://chalain.livejournal.com/43015.html).
And she can "upgrade" into the other versions, just like a magical girl :D (I'm thinking of something like Nanoha and Raging Heart several modes). Which fits the image of "magical girl" Vis-tan of Nijiura's. She can upgrade from the loli "Home basic" to the healthy "Home Premium".
I have a thought for how the Vistan(s) would speak.
The XP-tans are very polite saying "please" and "thanks" or "you should" (because on XP's dialogues, such as the "battery warning", it says "You should immediately charge your battery, (yada yada...)"
But Vistan(s) have no time for such nonsense (cause Vista dialogues just state what has to be said, right? IE, "Immediately charge your battery..."
And... ;_; Vistan sometimes can be a meany OS....
I have tried something, it just crash and burnt...
nVidia GeForce 7600GS driver is just simply irritating.
It just crashes when Aero is simply being loaded. T-T
(;_; And Vistan will never get ahead with Emuii-san, though...)

*Salutes XP flag and breaks into song*
I'm proud to be an XP fan, for at least I know I'm free...of driver failures...
What? Did my XP pride kill this thread?
I think a funny little backstory would be that at first (IE, in Beta stages, before the DRM, crazy tracking programs, etc etc), Vistan was quite close with the XP-tan, and was very sisterly with her. Only later on did her company brainwash her...
*darts in*
Aaah! XP pride! @v@;
GYAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! I'M GONNA GET EATIN'!!!!!!! ;^0^;
[vague reference to Thurosis' comics]
*darts out screaming hysterically*
After using Vista for a while. I think I have a good idea on its avatar's personaity. In a nutshell, she is like that hot girlfriend that was great for the first few times, but ends up being like the biggest clinger ever.
Vista-tan, is a bigger showoff than XP-tan no thanks to Aero. Vista's appetite for memory is even greater = slightly larger bust size than XP. ;)
She does her tasks completely different from her previous sisters. This reflects the new kenrel and driver library. Vista-tan only accepts drivers that are properly signed. She tries far too please her users by making some dumbfounded UI choices. The clinging aspect of her personity comes from UAC. She constantly asks for every move that the user takes. Vista-tan has the keys for DRM in order to keep friendly with MPAA/RIAA, but doesn't actively use them. Vista-tan is far more friendly with multimedia related materials due to Windows Media Center.
Vista-tan doesn't get along with her venerable sisters (9x-tan and older). 2000-tan and XP-tan are very envious of Vista and is afraid of being replaced. Mac OS X-tans accuse Vista-tan of being a shallow, wannabe. Ironically, Vista-tan has the best Linux relationship out of the Windows family. Thanks to better Linux support.

I'm so full of win, I actually take pride in saying I'm "full of it". ^___^
I do like Wombat's description though -- it would work perfectly for the +Nijiura+ version of Vistan. -v-

Now.... Quid pro quo....
What in the world does "Sage" mean anyway? I've seen that tossed around a lot, but the only "sages" I know are like old wise men and stuff. -v-
It's also a kind of spice.
...still nothing to do with it, though...except maybe...
(http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/382182185_7fe0d6af041.jpg)
*shiver* eep... o_O
Though I can't be certain, but as I understand it, to 'sage' a topic means to post a reply without pushing the thread to the top, or 'bumping' it as I believe it is called. As far as I can tell, this process is achieved by typing 'sage' into the 'contact' or 'e-mail' input box, it's name being derived thusly.
Of course, I'm no expert on any of this, so I could be entirely off. Perhaps Darknight-san will enlighten us? ^-^
well, Tsubashi already explained what's "sage".
About when it's used, it depends. In some imageboards (4cha...) most of the time it's used as a way to express that you don't like a certain thread (Thus keeping it off the front page). Sage spamming it's a way to kill a thread by reaching it's reply limit.
But the original use it's to avoid bumping threads unnecessarily and let newer threads have their own share of front page time. Specially when you think that your reply does not deserve to bump the thread.
...
I think that +nijiura+ uses sage in the "polite" way. But since I don't know japanese, I'm not sure of this.
...
Yeah, but...
...why "Sage"? I mean, why? It's totally off topic. >.>
I was right?!? @.@
Cool! ^__^
QuoteYeah, but...
...why "Sage"? I mean, why? It's totally off topic. >.>
Perhaps because a 'wise' person knows not to bump topics for trivial things?
According to Wikipedia, the term "sage" comes from the Japanese "sageru", which means "to lower"
>_>

I really like those ideas :D
(Although I still think she'd be out for XP-sama's blood >___>)
Plus, I'm sure there should be six Vistans (for Home, premium, ultimate, starter, etc.)
I really like Wombatslove's description of Vistan!
....
6 versions of Vista? But BBSpot said there were 33! :D

Futaba's 4 most notable design of Vis-tans;

Although obviously there are more than 4 designs that was posted on Futaba. Those 4 contains the Anubis, Ninja. Ganguro and the Spirit design. The ninja design was preferred as "Visbou" (for the first time, I really saw Visbou "kawaii" on that illustration ;073 ).
Visbou="bis" means "screw in japanese
Vistake= shiitake mushrooms. It is to believe that is how the ganguro's design was colored during its early times.
The Anubis design also became popular, but currently the notable alternative design of Vis-tan in Futaba today is the Spirit. The blonde girl with a halo.
The Vis-tan Spirit design was heavily based on the character "Shirona (ã,·ãƒãƒŠ)" from Pocket Monsters game: Diamond and Pearl.

^Earliest among all ++ produced Vis-tan design.
Also since this topic's about Vis-tan's personality. The Vistake already have a given personality by Futaba. She gets irritated by either staring to her for long or there are some other Vis-tans that surrounds her, saying the words "The artist must die!".
QuoteAfter using Vista for a while. I think I have a good idea on its avatar's personaity. In a nutshell, she is like that hot girlfriend that was great for the first few times, but ends up being like the biggest clinger ever.
Vista-tan, is a bigger showoff than XP-tan no thanks to Aero. Vista's appetite for memory is even greater = slightly larger bust size than XP.
She does her tasks completely different from her previous sisters. This reflects the new kenrel and driver library. Vista-tan only accepts drivers that are properly signed. She tries far too please her users by making some dumbfounded UI choices. The clinging aspect of her personity comes from UAC. She constantly asks for every move that the user takes. Vista-tan has the keys for DRM in order to keep friendly with MPAA/RIAA, but doesn't actively use them. Vista-tan is far more friendly with multimedia related materials due to Windows Media Center.
Vista-tan doesn't get along with her venerable sisters (9x-tan and older). 2000-tan and XP-tan are very envious of Vista and is afraid of being replaced. Mac OS X-tans accuse Vista-tan of being a shallow, wannabe. Ironically, Vista-tan has the best Linux relationship out of the Windows family. Thanks to better Linux support.
Hmm..no offense but best Linux relationship? better Linux support? ;013
Once you got or did or followed steps of a Linux support. You've already dumped Vista as your OS. Since you are currently using Linux ;013 That means Linux-tans just pulled the bait! ;054
Wow, Thank you Alfamille-san, I never knew which version was which before! This clears up a lot, Arigatou! ^-^
Quotehmm..no offence but best Linux relationship? better Linux support?
I agree. I'm not sure what you mean by 'better Linux support' but connecting via Samba to Vista is nothing but trouble from my experience.
Thanks Tsubashi-dono! ^_^

In that part-Vista will serve as a puppet, not your primary anymore once you get support from another OS.
...it's like feeding Vista unto the lion's den. That's why I prefer virtualization, as several OS can be working together freely (if only I can do that on my G3 PPC :P)
Anyhow, I would just like to update that someone submitted a "chivis-tan" design although it was preffered as "Home Premium"

I guess both designs ("chivis-tan" and the sailor fuku vistan) can be preffered on every edition of Windows Vista. Since I believe no one in ++, even Futaba will have an official design of Vistan.
...designs can be followed popularly I guess. ^^"
I think it is better to represent Vista-tan as the same avatar, but wears different attires according to what version. You could also make them sextuplets whatever floats your boat.
Home Basic and Starter have the basic attire which looks similar to XP Professional. They aren't really that different from XP Professional aside from lacking remote desktops and multi-chip support. She lacks transparent segments in her attire to reflect the lack of Aero.
Home Premium's attire looks more like Windows XP Home Theater (Because it has Media Center) but with a magic-girl twist and transparent segments which reflects Aero support.
Business and Enterprise are really one in the same. Enterprise is just OEM version of Business that does WPA a bit differently. Anyway, the attire of this version mimics 2000-tan, but it is more edgy to reflect Vista being on the bleeding edge and has some transparent segments.
The Ninjusta version of Vista-tan perfectly represents what Ultimate Edition's attire would look like.
From personal experience with Vista, I find that home and business basic tend to slow down some computers even though they should be able to run it fine due to the sound emulation. Standard and Ultimate can be more of a memory hog due to the areo interface, and the minimum requirements are way out of some computer's leauges. Also, the protection system is kind of annoying (eg. Do you want to access the internet?)
So I put this together:
Vis-tan, like her little sister XP-tan, usually carries around a bowl of rice and occaisonally eats from it, or its empty. She is very stubborn and eased when around her older sisters. but when alone or with others like her she becomes fast and logical and tends to show off a bit, especially when she wears her almost-transparent clothes. she is quite fond of geometric things and likes to collect shiny or clear items and DVDs. She often is seen with a large samurai warrior who tends to ask her if she wants to do something that he does not approve of.
(written by Kyo)
Well this is my view on Vista
She's more flashy than all of her sister, and is not afraid to show it off. She also seems to have a bigger appetite for memory, but has the ability to flush it out at the moment's notice (prefetching). She also can find things more quickly than her sisters can (intergrated disk indexing). She also keeps her master's secret jealously (disk encryption). She can go low profile if she needs to (turning aero off automatically if app needs more resources). Friendly with the music industry because of DRM but never implement them. While she's naggy (UAC), she learns to shut up if you ask her (turn the thing off).

I love Vista-tan. >////<
Oooh,.. haven't seen some of Infinity-san's minis in a while -- far from their home thread, but still looking great as always! ^v^
Probably safe to assume by now that the ++ Vistan design is our collective favorite. ^___^
While this might be completely out of character for Vista, a group of friends and I were talking about it and the discussion slowly degraded into a series of Chuck Norris-esque jokes.
"Windows Vista has a day job at Auschwitz."
"Hannibal Lecter was a Sunday school teacher until he met Windows Vista."
"Windows Vista shot Bambi's mom and JFK in the same day."
OK, so they imply evil rather than....whatever Chuck Norris jokes are supposed to imply. But, as with Chuck Norris jokes (and Helen Keller jokes and Anne Frank jokes), they're so ridiculous they're fun.
LOL!!!

Speaking of uncyclopedia, have you ever looked up the OS-tans on that site? Aparently:
Quote from: "Uncyclopedia"The OS-Tans are a team of combat androids who work as mercenaries in Asia and the Western United States.
But what really got me was the link at the bottom proclaiming:
"Rumored to be the home of the OS-Tans"
Guess where it linked to? Here! LOL ^.^
Added after 2 minutes: Oh, and looking through the edit history apparently NewYinzer-san wrote a lot of it ^-^
vista is slow (i have vista on my computer, so yes, i will bash a little) so should that play into the character? take me-tan: she experiences crashes and freeze-ups just like the rl ME program did.
that also raises the question, how is 95-tan so stable? didn't the rl 95 have alot of bugs?
Not as many as...well, them others.
Alright, I've never personally used Vista, so I can't say too much from experience, but from what I gather, here is my idea for Vistan and her version sisters.
Vistan Home Premium:
The "Main" Vista OS-Tan, similar to what I've seen with XP Pro. She is very flashy, like most have said, and recourse heavy, even moreso then XP Tan. She is greatly disliked by the other OS-Tans, even when she tries to be around them, she has trouble due to her compatibility issues.
Though seemingly arrogant and flashy on the outside, she is quite humbled on the inside, realizing that she is highly disliked by many, including her own sisters. She constantly does the best she can with things, but like ME, she often fails. Even through her determination, her compatibility issues and high resource requirements usually lead to failure.
She dreads going the way of ME-tan because of her situation, of becoming known as an unreliable and almost useless OS. Even more, she fears for her fate after the release of Windows 7, afraid of being completely replaced at only a few years old.
She is detested by almost every other OS-Tan, especially the older ones, and the Mac Tans (based off of Mac users using Vista as a clear reason to switch). Only ME-Tan can really understand Vitan's situation, as she too was cast away as a useless system. ME would be one of Vistan's few friends. (MAYBE 2K and/or XP would understand eventually (2K for a specific reason))
Vistan Business Edition:
Vistan Business is very much like her sister, Vistan Home Premium. She has the flashy style to her, and may seem arrogant and exclusive. Though, like her sister, she is very determined to succeed, but fails horribly on may occasions. She tries to keep her respect by attempting to live up to her predecessor, 2K-Tan's reputation of reliability and favor in businesses, but often doesn't succeed.
On the inside, Vistan Business fears not replacement, but humiliation of failing to run as well as 2K-Tan. She and her sister are often seen trying to find ways of improving themselves to live up to their older sisters (patches, service packs, ect), but often fail.
She, like Home, is friends with ME-Tan, due to her unpopular nature. However, she constantly tries to become friends with 2K-Tan as well, as she's the one that Vistan Business wishes to become like.
Vistan Ultimate:
Unlike her 2 sisters, Vistan Ultimate is a more "antagonistic" OS. She looks completely down upon all older systems, from the old IBM Computers, through the modern Windows and Macs, including her 2 sisters Home Premium and Business. She wants nothing else but to not only replace XP-Tan and 2K-Tan, but to replace all other computers as the sole OS.
Everything done by her, including flaws like the Anti-Piracy issues, she does for the fun of it. She will do everything in her Quad-Core, 64-Bit, and almost limitless RAM power to cause trouble for her sisters. She feels superior to everything due to her state of the art nature, and she's not afraid to boast about it either.
Vistan Ultimate, to spite all others has even teamed up with Virus-Tan to spite her older sisters. (Which could become her downfall)
Alright, that's it for them. Yes, I condensed her into the 3 versions I know the most about.
I tried to take a unique story behind Vistan because I think she needs some sympathy, the same way ME-Tan has. I had used the 2 more common versions to be flashy on the outside, yet worried of her future on the inside type personality because they want to be like their sisters, but fail.
For Ultimate, I made her an antagonistic type becuase I just thought of the possibilities of the version itself. It's Vista "Ultimate," the name itself sounds arrogant. Also add the 25,000 copy limited edition and stuff, you get a version that would think its superior to everything else.
The idea of Vistan Ultimate teaming up with Virus-Tan actually originates from hearing that some Anti-Viruses had issues during the early days of Vista.
Overall, my design of her in these 3 forms was so that you can dislike her flawed side, yet still have the charm of the other Windows-Tans, and you can still feel sorry for her on the other side.
Please, tell me what you think ^^
Wow, as soon as you said "will do anything in her power to cause trouble" about Vista Ultimate-tan, I thought: "Is she part Virus-tan?" The fact the she would team up with the Virus-tans is kind of scary.
Quote from: "Alex S"Wow, as soon as you said "will do anything in her power to cause trouble" about Vista Ultimate-tan, I thought: "Is she part Virus-tan?" The fact the she would team up with the Virus-tans is kind of scary.
Hahaha, the idea comes from the fact that I remember that Grisoft was working like crazy to make AVG AntiVirus run correctly on Vista. Meaning that Vista obviously was open on some fronts to Virus attacks, and yet it's apparently such a great and secure OS. Meaning...haha maybe an inside job :P
Also, I thought, from what I've seen, we've had plenty of external conflict, maybe it's time for some serious INTERNAL conflict in the Windows family, that goes a little further then just one OS outdating the other.
Lastly, something for some reason made me picture Vistan Ultimate as dark...
Razgriz1
I think that Vis-tan would have a rather devilish personality, due to the fickle nature of the operating system while still having the alluring and attractive appearance that Vista and Vis-tan are known for. She works when she wants to, and when she doesn't nothing can make her do it. Almost a rebel of sorts among the OS-tans.
For instance, Vista seems to have a rather poor networking capability. In trials on known hardware on my workbench, it had a tendency to randomly drop connections even in LAN operations- this could be exhibited as a slight habit of accidentally hanging up on phone calls or other similar annoying but not really problematic habits.
Also I noticed in testing a tendency for Vista to be slow, even on brand new hardware that runs wonderfully when loaded with XP instead. Perhaps this should be reflected as well, a bit of a tendency to be slow on the draw.
And one more thing for Vista, she has GOT to have a slightly naughty streak too in order to really tie it all together with the stunning looks, devilish personality and the way she handles things. I haven't even begun to speculate into just how Vista does things, but I did discover on accident last weekend that if Vista is caused to trip up she doesn't recover right away- in fact one solid blue screen of doom and it was down for the count needing a hard drive reload.
On the AVG thing, I did succeed in loading AVG Free Edition version 8 and got it running. Though it certainly didn't do much to improve performance over *shudder* Norton 360
This is my idea of Vis-tan's personality based on my personal experience with the OS.
Vistan is one of those girls who, instead of becoming independent as they grow up, keep relying on their family. She tells her family anything and everything she does, and questions everything the user does if she think it's not right or her family wouldn't approve it.
(This represents DRM, UAC and Vista sending MS information almost daily)
Because of her behaviour, her father dotes on her, almost to the point of ignoring her older sisters. This has made Vistan a bit too sure of herself and caused a lot of people to dislike her. Even some of her sister feel she is getting more attention and praise than she deserves.
(This represents Microsoft pushing Vista on the users to the point of discontinuing support to Xp and their advertising strategy in general)
She has a very high metabolism: she can do think really well and quickly, but needs to eat a lot or she'll just doze off.
(This represents Vista's Prefetching system and the fact that it takes up a lot of RAM. Using Vista Ultimate even with 2gb of RAM is a nightmare, using it with 3Gb is like a dream come true)
Since she is often hungry, if there isn't enough rice chances are you'll find her eating Pocky instead.
(This represents Vista "Ready Boost" ability to use Flash drives as RAM)
She's a bit of a clutz but is getting better with the experience.
(Long copy/paste/move/whatever times and SP 1)
She stop questioning your every move if you can convince her you have good intentions.
(You can turn the UAC off. A good firewall also blocks some of the spyware-like applications.)
