XP-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 was originally criticized for bloating a system and being very pretty without being equally as useful, XP-tan wears tight clothing and has large breasts. An early alternate outfit was especially skimpy, wearing a blue miniskirt, high-heeled shoes, and a midriff-bearing tube top with "XP" on the breasts. [http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-2460 see here for an example]. She usually dresses in a blue and white stylized schoolgirl outfit with ribbons and detached sleeves for decoration. | |||
Also, [[Breast Size, Hunger, and Memory|as Windows XP used up large amounts of memory for its time]], XP-tan is often seen eating or holding an empty bowl labeled "Memory". She usually wears a blue and white stylized schoolgirl outfit with ribbons and detached sleeves | |||

In Deja Vu's doujin, she is seen as a somewhat dense but undeniably beautiful and envied character, easily compared to Mikuru Asahina from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu. She has had the most hentai scenes out of any of the OSes, much due to her large breasts, often drawn comically huge. However, her characteristically large breasts are envied by most other characters. | |||

In the expanded universe, she is one of the most diplomatic Windows-tans, and has worked side-by-side with Mac OSX Tiger-tan and Leopard-tan in bootcamp. She is more open-minded than most of the older Windows-tans, and wants to ensure harmony between the Windows and Mac families. | |||
