Introduction

Quote from: undefinedHello and welcome everyone to the OS-tan Annex thread.  ^__^
Here I've chosen to consolidate all the OS-tan renditions, fanart and contributions that make up the building blocks of the annex to the OS-tan universe that I'm developing.  This "Annex" is meant to be a backstory intended to integrate my new OS-tans into the preexisting OS-tan universe without overwriting too much work done by countless other artists.  For this reason I've categorized the OS-tans into "factions", not to force political separations on the poor girls, but rather to better organize the storytelling elements.  It would certainly be much easier to remember an obscure OS-tan if she has a familiar group representing her.  ^__^

The first 17 posts on this thread are where I will be posting my content or any valuable content created by others.  So whenever I churn out new drawings, or artists create new OS-tans, or biographies need updating or new OS-tans are suggested, look to these pages for the updated material.  I'll likely flag it somehow for easy identification.

All other posts after that are free-for-all, of course.  My goal is to get away from posting a thread for each new OS-tan, in order to free up space, ensure that their background info is easily accessible, and (hopefully) streamline the conversation pertaining to new OS-tans or the Annex in general.  If this format works, the subsequent posts should make for some very interesting reading.  ^__^

Keep in mind that, due to time constraints, these posts are still under construction as of this writing.  New OS-tans will only be displayed with their chibi preconcepts (and not with Wiki-style logos as I had hoped I'd have done by now), and it's likely that not every preexisting OS-tan will have her link(s) set up yet.  In short, as is always the case with me, this will all look like one giant mess.  ^^'

But please bear with me for a while, and I promise this thread will flourish with sweet (56K-friendly) eye-candy one day.  ^v^

To help out, I've borrowed the services of C-One, a lovely and versatile hardware-tan under the employee of the Binteeji Renmei OS-tans.  She'll help me a lot with the work around here, and may even cameo in the subsequent posts.  However, her contract is only valid for this thread, and she's forbidden from wandering off to any other corner of this forum.  If by any chance you spot her where she don't belong, shoo her away and contact me immediately.  ^_~
(Incidentally, I ran out of time drawing her on my own, so her avatar is a heavily-modified version of her anime inspiration.  I'll be flattered if you can't immediately guess who.  ^.^)

Again, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your time here.  ^__^

Sincerely,

C-chan the Pig

Green = general comments pertaining to a collection of characters.

The Microsoft Family
The richest and most influential OS-tan faction of all, The Windows Family has all but monopolized the consumer market, their company having secured a "Pax Micrsoftica" for nearly 15 years.  No other faction in recent history has so successfully matched the aggressive marketing tactics, scorched-earth policy towards rivals and wide appeal to the masses that has supported the Family's rise to power.  But while the older members appreciate (through experience) the need to get their hands dirty, long-standing peace and prosperity has all but cloistered the newer generation of Windows-tans.  They go on about their enjoyable daily lives, secure in the belief that only the Macs present any kind of nuisance, and completely oblivious to the political, economic and tactical maneuverings of parties largely unknown to them.

Note about Logo:  A reinvention of the Windows logo (for obvious reasons).  Each colored panel has the customary Window's title bars, plus the Min, Max and Close buttons.

The House of Mac
The second most influential OS-tan faction -- and perhaps the most glamorous in the eyes of the average consumer -- the Mac-tans have long since realized that taking on an economic juggernaut like the Windows Family would be financial suicide.  Therefore, following their defeat in the Consumer War of the mid-90's, they stepped up efforts to reorganize around their niche markets and rebuild their two decade-old brand name one loyal customer at a time.  Their strategy has so far been success as the Apple brand has had a strong resurgence in the consumer lexicon in recent years.  However, this comeback is still primarily white-collar, the Macs not yet ready (or willing) to seek the exposure of the wider masses.  The newer Mac-tans, in fact, are so far removed from their down-to-earth roots, that while they remain friendly, intelligent and sophisticated for the most part, they're not adverse to let slip a posh or elitist remark (carelessly, of courseââ,¬Â¦) during idle conversation.  That, or engage in the secret, "playful" activities of the rich and famous.

Note about Logo:  A reinvention of the MacOS logo (for obvious reasons).  It's essentially a depiction of Tragedy and Mirth using both halves of the Mac face, although full pairs of eyes had to be added to avoid an unsightly "cyclops" effect.

The Binteji Renmei ("Vintage Federation")
The Binteji Renmei (written in Japanese as "ãÆ'“ãÆ'³ãÆ'†ãÆ'¼ã‚¸ éâ,¬Â£Ã§â€ºÅ¸t", translated in English as "The Vintage Federation" or in French as "Le Fédération de Vieux Systèmes D'Exploitation") is itself inspired by the remarkable Anime/Manga " Haibane Renmei" created by Yoshitoshi Abe.
It is a non-profit organization dedicated primarily to assisting vintage and abandoned OS-tans, and providing a voice for them in a world that barely remembers them.  It was originally conceived by Amiga-tan, having spent several years as a wanderer and witnessing the plight of countless vintage OS-tans (once the marvel of their day) whittling the remainder of their lives in obscurity.  However, in a rare (and as yet unexplained) bout of compassion by Unix, she provided the funding to help Amiga-tan make the Binteji Renmei a reality, and to this date continues to offer the fledgling faction a token annual stipend.
The Binteji Renmei is not rich by any stretch of the imagination and many of its members are either too outdated to work a decent-paying job or require special assistance.  Nevertheless they remain very talented and resourceful individuals, and by binding together as a community they're able to pool their resources far more effectively, as well as discover newfound strengths and motivations.  Self-esteem, self-education and self-sufficiency are among the many values that they help each other learn and practice to a fault.  Whereas once the organization subsisted entirely on charity, now it's grown and sustained itself to the point where it can offer charity of its own.  If not in the form of money, certainly in the form of hope,ââ,¬Â¦

Hope for any OS-tan resigned to the belief that happiness and belonging are reserved only for the state-of-the-art.

The Anti$oft Coalition
A tiny political faction founded by OS/2-tan in the mid 90's and originally meant to challenge the legality of several of Microsoft's business practices.  But after further funding cuts, scorn and ridicule by her parent company destroyed any chance of her faction gaining mainstream credibility, she was forced to take it underground and fund it entirely out-of-pocket.  As her desperation and anger for the continuous injustice grew, so did the faction's slide towards the use of guerrilla tactics.

Due in part to its low recognition and her notoriously bitter temperament, she's only succeeded in hiring four other members (plus a die-hard "fan" that she can't seem to shake off).  Since these loyal followers possess a string of quirks of their own,ââ,¬Â¦ and have very questionable combat experience,ââ,¬Â¦ the once proud A$C is now often derided as a "ragtag group of bitter old women" (or "hags", in less courteous circles).  They may get away with petty sabotage or a 1-on-5 ambush, but have a humiliating track record of regularly botching ambitious and often not-so-ambitious attacks.  

Even as financial woes grow more and more merciless, OS/2 stubbornly refuses to give up on the A$C and sees no end in sight (short of her own demise).  

Note about Logo:  A hurled brick (to break the Windows), bearing the initial $ (just for the sake of being in the middle) and knocking off the A (for "Antisoft") and the C (for "Coalition") on impact.  An unintentionally self-deprecating logo, since in reality they're often the cause of their own failures.

The Linux/Unix Consortium
The largest and strongest faction of all, created from the merger between the ineffectual Linux Union and the tattered remnants of the once-dominant Unix Family.  It was cofounded by Unix and Linux-tan, once sworn enemies, now friendly and productive partners working toward a viable future for their kind.  The Unix-types bring to the table the experience of a three decade-old dynasty (the long-lasting of all), plus a respectable amount of wealth and a loyal corporate and industrial base.  The Linux-types offer a long sought-after infusion of new talent, being spreaders of an admirable ideological doctrine that have garnered them support from a far more diverse consumer, academic and technocratic base across the world.   With their combined strength, they are (at least on paper) the most powerful faction in terms of raw strength, numbers and performance stability per capita.

Ironically, the "LUC" also happens to be the LEAST politically-stable faction of all, as both Unix and Linux-tan were forced to combine two very different cultures too quickly.  Staunchly independent spirits, conflicting agendas, flagrant power boasting and polarized ideologies are some of the many problems that bring about almost daily infighting between the members.  The problem is aggravated further by frequent returns and departures of members disinterested in a unified front, having preferring instead to add to the medley of splinter factions or opt for the quiet life of a Wanderer.

Nevertheless, the struggle to sort through the chaos continues, and progress has been made to bridge the Linux-Unix divide, as well as create inroads into previously untapped and potentially strong emerging markets.  Should the day come when the LUC members settle their differences and agree to form a unified front, the resulting explosion of power and talent (reaching to every corner of the known world) is said to be akin to the awakening of a sleeping dragon.  

Note about Logo:  A hybrid of the Linux Union insignia and the Unix Family coat-of-arms, it displays a heraldic penguin with shield and encircled by bare twigs (likely stemming from a tenet of Unix' Philosophy).  The simple shield bears the words "Nullus Unus", which can have many translations depending on context, but is likely meant to imply "not, one", or "0, 1" (again, probably a result of Unix' obsession with simplicity).  It should be noted that even the logo itself is a big source of contention for members, the Linux-types viewing it as too austere, the Unix-types deriding it as too silly.

The User Space Gang
The most powerful, successful and longest-standing LUC splinter group ever formed.  Originally founded by Plan 9-tan (one of Unix' direct descendants), it began in protest for her mother's decision to reject her as an heir to the Unix throne.  While access to the throne and the consequent family fortunes are still of interest to her, the birth of her own daughter (Inferno-tan) has expanded her ambitions exponentially.  Putting it simply, she wishes to convert the tiny "gang" into the beginnings of a new dynasty -- and the trickling in of other disgruntled Unix-types into her faction have only helped fuel her visions of grandeur.

At least on paper, the User Space Gang shares a few similarities with the Anti$oft Coaltiion.  But unlike the latter, the User Space Gang has the power, resources and intelligence to be a forced to be reckoned with.  They're able to launch rebel attacks against the LUC without fear of [total] annihilation and can certainly reign down destruction against any of the "lesser" factions foolish enough to stand in their way.  Clearly there are no impediments to the formation of a "User Space Dynasty" ââ,¬â€œ why that hasn't happened yet has much to do with the state of the leader's sanity (to say nothing of her daughter'sââ,¬Â¦).

Note about Logo:  1950's-style flying saucer with bunny ears.  It is essentially a stylized depiction of Plan 9's warship, the USS ["User Space Ship"] Glenda ââ,¬â€œ a product of Plan 9's genius (and homage to cheesy horror/sci-fi films) that is all but invincible (except for one very peculiar weakness).

The DOSSE
More of a club than a faction, all its members reside with other factions and simply convene as the "DOSSE" when scheduling permits (or the occasion calls for it).  Automatic membership is given to all x86 DOS-tans, though other non-GUI OS-tans can join if they're willing to pass through "The Trial".  The DOSSE's mission is to speak up for the rights and recognition of command line OS-tans everywhere, who are often derided by the consumer class for being "not user-friendly enough".  They offer free assistance and technical support to fellow sisters in need, maintain their own free BBS and even release a crude (but charmingly-detailed) monthly newsletter.  However, since all current DOSSE members are child-types, they don't shy from spending some or all of their meeting time having a little fun,ââ,¬Â¦ And on occasion, too much fun,ââ,¬Â¦ And on rare instances, even a little neighborhood mischief.

The DOSSE was first founded by x86 DOS-tans residing at the Binteji Renmei ââ,¬â€œ however, it was not their original idea.  The concept was first drafted by an as-yet undisclosed OS-tan over a decade ago, and she clearly supported the idea once it was that someone would make it a reality.  Even to this day, she remains the anonymous benefactor to the DOSSE, and it is the hope of all its members that they will meet her one day.

Note about Logo:  A simple command prompt with "DOSSE" spelled out, not particularly original but appropriate.  "DOSSE", incidentally, is a combination of the words "DOS" with "posse".

The Mainframe Guild
The word "faction" is probably ill-suited since the group is exclusive only to Mainframe OS-tans, the goddesses of the OS-tan Annex Universe.  Akin to the Meltlandi of Macross lore or the goddesses of ancient Mount Olympus, the Mainframe OS-tans are literally giants (no shorter than 16 meters) that overlook the workings of the world from behind the scenes.  Contact with mortal OS-tans is considered taboo and forbidden (with the exception of former Mainframe-tans who have simply undergone microsizing), and, conversely, many obstacles have been emplaced to prevent mortal OS-tans from accessing the "Mainframe".  Therefore, little is generally known about these mysterious OS-tans, other than that they are physically enormous, insanely powerful and impossibly arrogant.  Even less is known about the occasional secret "meddling" in the affairs of mortal OS-tans, which again is forbidden (but perhaps not as well-enforced as it should).

note+updated description: The heights listed for the mainframe characters are their normal, human-sized heights. Traditionally, the Mainframe-tans were very arrogant due to competition, power struggles, or it was just in their nature to be. Nowadays, The Guild is divided by the Old School elitists who are proudly arrogant, and the down-to-earth types who are there out of obligations or for the sake of tradition.

The CIOST ("Confederation of Independent OS-Tans")
Not a true faction in the literal sense, since members don't regularly convene, live together (or even close by) or have any defined territory borders or markets.  The Confederation of Independent OS-tans is essentially a mutual defense pact for non-aligned OS-tans, who fiercely defend their own independence and (unlike Wanderers) have agreed to defend the independence of their fellow sisters.  A number of its members have had run-ins with Windows, Macs, Unix and Linux-types in the past, so almost no CIOST members are related to any of these factions.  Therefore, the CIOST membership boasts an enormous and colorful diversity of OS-tans of all types, trades and personalities.  The majority of its members, however, are generally considered (in varying degrees) to be quite powerful, resourceful to an art, and a touch antisocial.  

The CIOST was first established by VMS-tan, after witnessing the travesty that became of her involvement with Windows NT.  Recognizing the threat posed by well-marketed inferior programming in an ignorant world, the pact was set up as quickly as possible to admit and protect as many of her kind as possible from the ravages of the 90's.  Sadly, her own hermit-like lifestyle and laissez-faire approach to everything but defense did much to influence the CIOST in becoming the decentralized organization that it remains today.  United, the CIOST is powerful enough to shatter the Windows hegemony and even take on the LUCââ,¬Â¦!

But divided, they are neither a threat nor much of an inspiration.

The Wanderer Class
As stated, this is really a "class" of OS-tans and not a faction thereof, since there is no organization or membership to speak of.  A Wanderer is a slang term for an "unaligned" OS-tan, someone who either travels too much within different factions to settle down in one, or wants to live a completely independent life with no strings attached, or who simply isn't aware-enough of the ways of the world to know that factions exist.  As the Wanderer Class is a catch-all term, the number of OS-tans falling under this group is currently unknown, although the number is expected to be as great as the number of obscure systems around the world (and their derivatives).

While the independent life of a Wanderer may sound particularly enticing, the reality of the challenges involved cannot be understated enough.  Living alone, without the protection of a group or any inherit means of defense, leaves the poor OS-tan vulnerable to attacks by misfits, bootlegs, hackers, viruses and any number of real-world dangers.  Even worse, the danger of fading into obscurity becomes exponentially greater for a Wanderer.  It is for this reason that factions such as the Binteji Renmei often try to recruit Wanderers, although the stigma of the "vintage" label may turn off more than a fair share of them still convinced of their own self-worth.

Deceased OS-tans
It's not enough to discontinue a system to end her life.  But if she is discontinued by her developers AND her former user base AND she is ultimately forgotten,ââ,¬Â¦ then life takes its inevitable course and ends for her.

All these OS-tans, and more to come, have served their function well with dedication and loyalty to their users.  They have done much to build this world that our generation often takes so much for granted.

May you rest in peace and may you never be forgottenââ,¬Â¦.

    Debut: circa 1981
    Height: 125 cm
    Weight: ?? kg
    Eye Color: Blue
    Hair: Dark Grey
    Blood Type: 16

    Quick Facts:
      - Has shy, mousy and depressed disposition.
      - Intelligent, but has trouble expressing herself clearly.
      - Twin sister of PC-DOS-tan; younger sister of QDOS-tan; biological daughter of DR-DOS-tan.
      - Keeps hair in pigtails.
      - Dons a light-blue grade school uniform with "MS-DOS" armband and glasses.
      - Carries around Microsoft keyboard everywhere she goes.
      - Official engineer of the Windows Family, though diminishing demand has turned her more into an unofficial house servant.

    From old Wikipedia article:
    QuoteA rarer character, MS-DOS is a cute but very shy little girl carrying around a keyboard and usually peeking around corners. The implication is that, like MS-DOS itself on non-NT versions of Windows, she is always lurking somewhere in the background, just out of sight.

        From old Wikipedia article:
        QuoteA rare character, the few appearances of Windows 3.1 have used a white "mech-box" similar to that used by 98 and 98SE, piloted by a girl who appears to be DOS/V. Another version becoming more popular is a frail grey-haired young woman in a long frilly violet gown, with a "3.1" brooch on her collar. She is usually accompanied by either a black cat or a small black-haired catgirl in a nurse's outfit, both representing DOS.

          Name: Windows 95-tan
          aka:  Win95, "Chicago"
          Debut: 8/24/1995
          Height: 157 cm
          Weight: ?? kg
          Eye Color: Brown
          Hair: Brown
          Blood Type: 16/32

          Quick Facts:
            - Has gentle and mild-mannered disposition when in a good mood, becoming aggressive and violent when not.
            - Always carries a Katana with her and is still considered an excellent swordswoman.
            - Keeps hair long, tied with a ribbon bearing the Windows colors.
            - Dons a pink traditional kimono, hakama and geta, typical female college student apparel during the Japanese Meiji era.
            - Acts much older than she actually is, never having bothered to keep up with the times.
            - Still has enough clout and force to keep the newer generation of Windows in line.
            - Led vanguard in Microsoft's dominance of the PC market, and is still able to summon her old battle suit.
            - Hates Macs with a vengeance, more so now that they are staging a strong recovery.
            - Is generally snide and arrogant with other alternative OS-tans, but knows enough not to pick a fight with everyone (e.g, the Linux distros).
            - Aside from Windows 3.11-tan and DOS, she will not comment on earlier Windows versions.

          From old Wikipedia article:
          Quote95, being an older version of "modern" Windows, is usually represented as a traditional lady from the early modern era of Japan. She is a gentle-looking brown haired woman in a kimono, with a hair ribbon showing the four Windows colors. The pattern of her kimono is based on the file "hana256.bmp," which was used as a desktop wallpaper pattern in the Japanese version of Windows. Her costume is a traditional kimono and a hakama of Japan, and she wears thick sandals, geta on her feet. These are women's college student's typical clothes as seen in the earliest period during the course of the modernization in Japan (from the Meiji period to the Taisho period), and the cultural background for the comparison of the modernization of Windows to modernization of Japan is seen there.

          Her most common activities are drinking tea, serving meals or doing other housework. One recurring theme is her unfamiliarity with newer, post Win-95 technologies, such as USB devices and broadband internet connections. She is also occasionally depicted wielding a katana in an aggressive manner, symbolizing that it was her generation of operating systems that Microsoft finally achieved full dominance of the personal computer market. One comic strip shows her talking to other OS-tans about beating up MacOS; and 95 is commonly portrayed with an overwhelming hatred of the Macintosh OS-Tans, particularly her bitter rival MacOS-tan.

          Due the popular belief that Mozilla Firefox is incompatible with Windows 95, several OS-tan four-panel comics have been made portraying other OS-tans encouraging 95-tan to "think in Russian!" and 95-tan's inability to internalize the Russian language enough to accomplish this.

            Eye Color: Navy Blue
            Hair: Navy Blue
            Blood Type: 16/32

            Quick Facts:
              - Has shy and demure disposition.
              - Frequently travels with her blue-colored Mech-Box.
              - Keeps hair short, with a "98"-shaped hair clip attached to her left bang.
              - Dons a white and blue sleeveless school uniform, with gloves and a windows necktie.
              - Is a futanari.
              - Has a crush on Homeo.
              - Prefers to stick with (and "joust") with her sister, 98SE-tan.

            From old Wikipedia article:
            QuoteMany variations exist; however, the most common is a pair of young girls. The First Edition of 98 has a white and blue uniform, a navy blue hair with a clip shaped like "98", and has a windows logo as part of a necktie, she is also somtimes seen as a futanari (female with male genitals) and is said to fancy Homeo. The 98 Second Edition mascot normally has grey-blue hair and a green sailor school uniform with the letters SE on the front, and her most commonly used phrase is "all dicks seriously need to die".

            Two early versions that continue to be used alongside the girls are a pair of stick-limbed snack-boxes with a face and version number drawn in crayon, based on the "Vulcan 300" toy that appeared in the anime series Konjiki no Gash Bell!!. In the very early days before the designs of the primary OS-tans had settled, generic stick-limbed boxes were often used as placeholders; there had been instances of small DOS and Windows 3.11 boxes before other designs gained popularity. Both girls now make regular use of these as "mechanical suits." The "mech-box" used by 98 is blue in colour, and likewise the 98SE mech-box has a green theme. The mechs are sometimes shown as guardians or friends to the 98-tans, otherwise the two girls can be seated inside them as pilots. The box sizes can vary, ranging from doll-like when carried by the girls to taller than an adult when they ride inside them. While both are fairly shy girls, 98SE is seen hiding in her mech-box a lot more often.

              Quick Facts:

                - Dons a white and green sailor school uniform, with the letters "SE" printed in the front.
                - Is not a futanari like her sister 98-tan, and in fact carries a bottle opener to brandish her disdain for such things.
                - Prefers to stick with (and "joust") with her sister, 98SE-tan.
                - Despite the small disparity in age, she's clearly the more innocent and naive of the two 98 sisters.

                  - Keeps hair in a short ponytail tied with a blue ribbon.
                  - Dons a simple pink dress.
                  - Can multitask, but is usually quite error-prone and unreliable compared to her daughters: NT Workstation, Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP, etc.
                  - Was first Windows Family liason to the higher-end, non-x86 architecture hardware-tans.
                  - Helped establish her company's foothold in the server market, capitalizing on clever marketing and the weaknesses of a war-torn Unix Family.
                  - Is largely unaware that she's a clone of VMS-tan and a true biological sister to OS/2-tan.

                From old Wikipedia article:
                QuoteThis character is not very common. She usually has the purple hair and the pink dress seen here, but her age can range from child to adult. Sometimes she is also portrayed as the mother of 2K-tan.
                NT-tan

                Another version, Windows NT Workstation, also exists and has recently been more common than the original NT-tan, at least on the Futaba image boards. "NT" has the romaji representation of "enu ti"ââ,¬â€this sounds a lot like "inu ti", and "inu" is the Japanese word for dog. Inu-T has blue hair, dog ears, a dog's tail and a collar. She usually wears gloves and boots shaped like paws, and colored blue to match her ears and tail.

                Yet another NT-tan, Windows NT SP6, was designed by the dÃ...jinshi group Deja vu, but it was considered a bootleg design by Futaba society and not an "official" OS-Tan. (See "Dispute between Futaba Society and Deja Vu" for the details.)

                    - Is considered a fine gourmand, second only to Windows XP-tan
                    - Is very friendly with every Windows girl, but surprisingly close to Windows 95-tan.
                    - Is not, however, universally-friendly with all OS-tans -- may either have a barking match with other canine OS-tans (particularly the Linux variety) or will chase after the feline OS-tans (such as the OSX girls).

                      - Keeps hair short, topped with two miniature pigtails tied with red ribbons.
                      - Dons a simple pink dress, black stretch shorts and boots.
                      - Is small and unassuming-enough to go largely unnoticed.
                      - Is also a tad bit too self-conscious, working under the impression that no one likes her despite her massive popularity in the handheld market.
                      - Considers the Sega Dreamcast to be the best console ever made.
                      - While usually civil with Palm Pilot-tan, she does have an ongoing blood feud with her prominant rival PalmOS-tan.
                      - Is also locked in petty disputes and the occasional serious skirmish with other portable OS-tans (such as Minix-tan), but prefers not to involve her larger relatives in these miniature conflicts.

                    From old Wikipedia article:
                    QuoteBeing an OS designed for small devices, the personification of Windows CE (CE for short) is portrayed as diminutive and fairy-like; complete with gossamer wings and wielding a USB cable wand. Because a modified version of Windows CE was the operating system of the Sega Dreamcast console, there are several illustrations of CE standing upon or around the Dreamcast's "swirl" logo.

                        - Is considered the most stable and dependable of all the present Windows Girls, although constantly fears being outperformed by the newer generations.
                        - Is still the official family Domain Controller
                        - Is considered Me-tan's guardian due, but is mainly responsible for keeping ALL Windows-tans out of trouble (Me requiring the most attention).
                        - Is perhaps the most aware of the "outside" world due to her position, but generally keeps this to herself so as not to disrupt the peace.
                        - Dislikes being outclassed, so prefers to avoid contact with higher-end OS-tans.

                      From old Wikipedia article:
                      QuoteA few variants exist, but the most common is Win2K Professional. She is typically drawn as an intelligent, professional, reserved looking woman with short blue hair, glasses, and hairclips that resemble cat ears flanking a small white bonnet or ruffle, similar to maid's hairclip, that shows the windows logo. Her outfit resembles a swimsuit suggesting the Windows logo colors, and she wears a blue long coat. This is thought to reflect the opinion that Windows 2000 is the most stable, dependable, and balanced system. She is characterized as the "dependable woman" among the OS-tans and one of the domain controllers. Because of the greater stability of Win2K compared with WinME, which was released near 2K, 2K-tan is often described as a guardian of ME-tan. The blue in the picture is close to the default Windows 2000 desktop colour.

                      2k-tan is often associated with Futanari, and is sometimes depicted as being one herself.

ME-tan is a hard worker and always wants to help her master (Toshiaki), but predictably fails at everything she tries to do, and often literally crashing and irritating her sisters. When she is not frozen or out of control, she tends to do things showing a lack of common sense or knowledge, such as putting soda into a microwave oven or attempting to kill people by swinging a scallion (see here). In spite of, or perhaps due to, her pitiful plight, the clumsy ME-tan is one of the most beloved OS girls.

                          Debut: 10/25/2001
                          Height: 171 cm
                          Weight: ?? kg
                          Eye Color: Blue
                          Hair: Dark Blue
                          Blood Type: 32

                          Quick Facts:
                            - Has friendly, energetic and youthful disposition.
                            - Has exceedingly large breasts due to her bloated size and memory consumption.
                            - Keeps hair long, and wears a ribbon shaped as the "XP" logo over her left bang.
                            - Dons a somewhat-skimpy blue and white uniform with a passive resemblance to a sailor uniform; the disjointed sleaves add a rare kind of beauty but are otherwise pointless.
                            - Is considered the prettiest Windows-tan of all and has a massive following of fanboys (and some fangirls).
                            - But is also derided as an "Activation Whore" by those who know her more closely.
                            - Is the most energetic and best performing of all the Windows-tans, but this also makes her very jealous of the emerging Vista-tan.
                            - Has voracious eating habits due to her system hogging, so much so that she's considered more "glutton" than "gourmand"
                            - Has recently been appointed to lead reconciliation efforts with the House of Mac, and is the first Windows-tan in history to work closely with a Mac-tan (OSX Tiger-san) without any [recorded] hostilities.

                          From old Wikipedia article:
                          QuoteXP-tan is a dark-haired girl with ribbons in her hair and an "XP" hair ornament worn on the left side (infrequently, she is depicted with ornaments on both sides). As Windows XP is criticized for bloating a system and being very pretty without being equally as useful, XP-tan wears tight clothing and has large breasts. Also, as Windows XP uses up large amounts of memory, XP-tan is often seen eating or holding an empty donburi labeled "Memory." A variant that represents XP Home is known as "Homeko" (pronounced [homeko], not [ˈhoʊmko]) has green hair that she wears in a short ponytail and wears two large XP-shaped hairclips that cover her ears. She is characterized as a fujoshi and yaoi doujinshi artist who has an unhealthy fascination with her gender-confused brother Homeo (/homeo/). There is a rarer variant representing Windows XP Media Center Edition. The costumes of the two main variants are based on the loading lines at the Windows splash screen during startup.

                              - Is XP Pro-tan's twin sister
                              - Has impulsive, antagonistic and lecherous disposition.
                              - Also has large breasts like her twin sister, but not nearly as unwieldly.
                              - Keeps hair tied up in a short ponytail, and wears "XP"-shaped hair clips over her left bang.
                              - Often dons a simple green sweatsuit, not fussing over her appearance as much as XP-tan.
                              - Is considered pretty, but not particularly approachable; fanboys must advance at their own risk.
                              - Is a famous hentai manga artist, and often likes to practice unique "approaches" on her own to improve her work.
                              - Is a tad bit of a glutton as well, but is usually too engrossed in her work to eat regularly.
                              - Has reliable-enough performance, but is too sloppy to compete with her sister; nevertheless, it's not beneath her to flaunt her skills with lesser Windows-tans.
                              - Doesn't seem to mind her borderline-incestual fascination with her younger brother Homeo.

                                - Not a clutz or a system wreck like ME-tan, but is fairly error-prone and buggy in her own right.
                                - Is very knowledgeable with home electronics, but second-rate when it comes to actual computing issues.

                                  - Has red bows with the Windows logo decorating her chest as well as her tail.
                                  - Is usually a workaholic of the 2K-tan calibre and rarely has a chance to interact with non-fish Windows girls.
                                  - But she does use her leisure time effectively, roaming both land and sea, and generally getting herself into trouble.
                                  - Is often accompanied by other "Saba"-tans, although the latter are seen even more rarely than 2003.

                                From old Wikipedia article:
                                Quote2003 Server is often portrayed as being half-girl, half-fish, with an ethernet hub as a bonnet on her head. Other versions show her as a girl with a short white skirt and a vest-style top with a long tail in the back (usually with a bow) and Windows four-square logo pins in the bow at her neck and on the tail. In some forms, she has a belt made from ethernet cable wrapped around her waist. Saba is a pun: in Japanese, the word for "server" is pronounced "saaba", while "saba" is the word for mackerel.

                                Saba-tan is constantly being eaten by cats (another fish gag), also in one episode, Windows 95 is seen cooking Saba-tan for lunch, she has been gutted, stunned, and placed on a cutting board as 95 is seen with a sharp knife, preparing to chop Saba-tan up and cook her for ME and 2K to eat. It is still unknown how she escaped that situation since she was unconscious while 95 held the knife up ready to chop her up.

                                Also in the picture of all the OS-tans, she is seen becoming a cats lunch, however she returns in a later comic, indicating that she somehow escaped being eaten for lunch, or the fact that there are many Saba OS-tans in the OS-tan universe.

Silver or white hair appears to be the most frequent, although light blue and black are also seen. A common costume design was a white and red sailor fuku and stockings. Since the release of more details about Vista's interface, her look has changed slightly. A black maid's outfit is now emerging in popularity (which matches the new default Vista color scheme), as well as a circular Windows logo hair clip, identical to the new Start Menu button in Vista. No word yet on whether breast size or appetite will increase dramatically with Vista, to reflect the increased system requirements compared to previous Windows operating systems.

                                      From old Wikipedia article:
                                      QuoteMac OS is the commonly known MacOS girl during the early times of the OS-tan creation. Being short-tempered, she is mostly known for being into insane rages when angered. She wears a "platinum white" bodysuit. She usually carries a large apple on her head, or a bomb from the standard Macintosh error dialog. She always uses those bombs against the Windows girls. Knowing that she always had a bitter rivalvry against 95-tan, their rivalry is based on true to life situation about the same year Apple System 7.5 and Windows 95 were released.

                                      She is also seen to use her bombs on other characters like Toshiaki in a 4koma and also whenever the OSX-kuns do something perverted against her and OS9. In fact, she is also once known as OS9 in Futaba long ago until after that time, the girl "Sonata teacher" have came from a standard wallpaper for OS 9. Some artist also reffered her as "OSX" although there is a dispute due to MacOSX are used to have the Apple "wild cat" naming tradition.

                                      Even though she is short-tempered and always seen irritated on other OS-tans, she becomes friendly whenever she is given appreciation.

She wears a white dress with the Mac face logo on the skirt with a slit up the front that follows the nose/profile line. Unlike MacOS-tan, she is always seen as cheerful, modest and responsible like 2k-tan. Knowing that she is the only maid in the Mac group. She is always responsible for taking care of the OSX girls. Her main hobby is art (mostly painting).

                                                                          The cofounder and leader of the Binteji Renmei ("Vintage Federation"), Amiga-tan is best suited to head this non-profit organization dedicated to assisting vintage and abandoned OS-tans.  Standing taller and prouder than any other member -tan, she continuously exudes confidence and dynamism that inspires work to get done and potential to be tapped.  Yet she remains charismatically friendly, selfless in her drive to help others and honest to a fault.  Her exceptional creativity often borders on a tacit genius, be it in her uncanny ability to produce breathtaking drawings (without modern tools) or in her ability to successfully counsel member -tans with troubled pasts (equipped with nothing but a protective maternalism).

                                                                          Amiga-tan is often trusting to the point of naivity, however.  While she's matured considerably over the years, this used to cost her much contention (almost her life) in her youth.  For this reason, while she does not officially have (or believe in) enemies, there are still OS-tans she would prefer to avoid if possible (such as 95-tan).  Even so, she's never unwilling to engage anyone (or anything) in friendly conversation, regardless of the outcome to her (though perfectly considerate of any risks posed to her friends).

                                                                          Also, while she clearly "towered" over the competition in the past, this too posed its own set of problems.  Prospective users were quick to ogle at her physical appearance, but were too intimidated to get to know her beyond that.  Users kind enough to accept her, however, were also inconvenienced with the necessity of finding custom-fitting "clothes" for her.  Regardless, she has a small but loyal community that continues to love her and support her modern-day efforts.  She in turn loves them more, almost as much as she does each and every member -- big or small, fast or slow, competent or 'special' -- of the Binteji Renmei.

                                                                                                                              She has few personality quirks, but she's not as physicially capable as many of the other member -tans of her generation and tends to be quite poor at sports or high-performance games.  She has some technical talent, but mainly narrowed to her particular hobbies (e.g, musical composition, code-breaking, etc).  Additionally, while she's not color-blind, she could easily fool anyone as she has a strange fascination for color-clashing (and/or style-clashing) her clothing.  It takes seconds to befriend her as a person, but weeks to get used to her as a "fashion disaster".

                                                                                                                                    -Lived a sheltered but happy childhood in the company of the early Windows-tans, MS DOS and PC DOS and Xenix.
                                                                                                                                    -Was also trained rather rigorously in preparation for her future duty as the flagship OS of MS and IBM.
                                                                                                                                    -Took the breakup of her family and subsequent separation from her sisters very badly.
                                                                                                                                    -She fell into the custody of IBM; while she was trained in advanced fighting skills, these would be no match for the broad and aggressive marketing of the Windows-tans.
                                                                                                                                    -Blames Windows NT and 95 (her sister and step-sister respectively) for the breakup of the family; as such, she harbours a vendetta toward them.

                                                                                                                                    -Was generally nice, but arrogant, as a child; her attitude has since morphed into one of bitterness, hostility and a touch of insanity.

Her helmet usually has horns on it, likely a reference to the GNU operating system whose components usually combine the system programs in Linux systems (hence "GNU/Linux"). The "gear-teeth" on the helmet is a reference to KDE, a common desktop environment used with GNU/Linux. Also, the foot symbol on her shirt is a reference to GNOME, another common desktop environment. She is often seen with a spear that has flags attached representing the GRUB, LILO and GCC tools for GNU/Linux. The helmet and spear most likely reference the high level of attention to security (defensive helmet) and hacking (offensive spear) found in Linux applications.

She also has a more extroverted personality. She "appeared out of the shadow of the OSes to challenge the 98 series" and seems to regard 98-tan especially as a rival, but no matter what she does to 98, the other OS regards her as a well-meaning friend. She is sometimes seen wearing a black skirt, black gloves, and a white sleeveless shirt like 98, but with a red tie and black 95 style bow.
