OS-tan Talk / Re: OS-tan hot takes

I always looked at them as "browser-tans" in there own universe. It's Merryweather's own set of browser gijinka OCs. Which when it boils down to it OS-tans are really just gijinka OCs of OSes adopted by everybody.

I got a hot take, Ultima-san is an under-rated Vista-tan. I think a lot of her design speaks well to Vista's UI sensibilities.

I like deferring to Futaba a /lot/, don't get me wrong, but I don't see anything in Vistake that depicts any aspect of Vista, unlike Ultima-san

With how obscure Ultima-san seems to be. I guess doesn't hurt to draw her.

Under this logic would Nanami and all the other Madobe's even count as OS-tans?  They never refer to themselves as OS-tans. They also never appear with any known OS-tans. at least as far as I am aware.

Cannocinally no, cannocinally Madobe Family and OS-tans are not related to each other, but imo it feels less off than with the Merryweather's universe.

Technically yes, because it's anime humanization of OSes and other computer related things.

I just wanted to say that I like to see the OS-tans (with the Madobe Family) and Merryweather's comic as two (or three if you don't consider the Madobe Family as OS-tans) separate universes.

Just memeing as warm-up sketch about the age old joke about every new Windows demanding obscene amounts of hardware resources, Vista having been just the same.



Vista had quite Windows 11 type of launch because of the hardware requirements, however Vista didn't straight up lock people out from upgrading. Aero did require a graphics accelerator, but Aero could be disabled.

O nice. I forgot about her tbh, but I like her design and think it fits well with Vista.
