I would love to know more about that XP-tan honestly. In my head I've been calling her Protomeko.

It would be nice if someone made a piece of media that could set a timeline at least or something like that, but yet again it'll just be another interpretation.

There's a lot of Doujinshi to read if you want, some of them are even a series.

But like Bella said it's a loose canon inherently and that's kind of the beauty of it.

I think it's a risk of any internet meme (using this in the viral idea sense of the term, not the joke sense of the term). Without a central creator and canon it's impossible to determine what is correct except by the consensus of what gets replicated by artists (how we got the original established traits for the Futaba OS-tans).

Unless something big comes along that establishes a canon for the Futaba -tans in the same way that KanePixel's backroom shorts & movie established a canon (at least in the popular imagination) for the original 4chan "backrooms" meme, we'll probably be stuck in this cycle forever.

I don't think it's impossible, especially as aughts web nostalgia grows in popularity, but I don't think it's terribly likely either. Nanami Madobe (et. al.) *may* be such a canonization of the OS-tan concept, which is unfortunate because it may crowd out development for the Futaba designs.

Saseko Madobe or Nisen Madobe

No, i mean that he made a video about Nanami Madobe, right?

And people just started calling every MS OS-tan Madobe since that, at least from my experience

Though most people who call them that are posers(so-called larpers, pardon my french), again from my experience

Yeah, that's mostly the case, also including that many people got introduced to OS-tans thanks to Michael MJD and his Nanami video.

And as Bella said, loose canon does not help in the slightest. It's up to users to decide what is canon and what is not.

It would be nice if someone made a piece of media that could set a timeline at least or something like that, but yet again it'll just be another interpretation.

I see, however, I don't remember that Michael MJD would use those unofficial names like Saseko Madobe or Nisen Madobe in the video? And yeah, I think too it's up on people what they will consider canon and what not.

awesome! homeko's feeling right at home ^ ^

Thank you! 

She looks great! As an aside, OS-tans rendered in their respective OS is one of my favorite genres of all time.

Mine too! I have a lot of older laptops, so it kinda became my duty to set the wallpaper of the OS-tan that is a OS-tan of the OS that the laptop has on the laptop and to draw the OS-tan that is a OS-tan of the OS that the laptop has on the laptop.

When you've procrastinated too long on reinstalling XP to debloat it.

Obviously Moseko would use WindowsMediaPlayer, but anyone even little bit involved in watching movies would have VLC for the difficult to run files. Hence the traffic cone coloured popcorn bucket.

That XP design looks like if Homeko actually got a job.

I guess it's because they see characters like Madobe Nanami, Madobe Yuu.

What a fun take on that MSDOS design! I like her chunky belt, neck ruff and linking DOS accessory. I wonder what the significance of her CDR hair ties are...

I loooove that XP-tan design. I'm a sucker for mech wings and uniforms. Fantastic pose too! As an aside, I remember there being speculation that design was meant to represent the tablet version of XP but I doubt there was truth to it.
