NT-Mama is the [[Futaba Channel]] OS-tan used mostly to depict [[:Category:Windows NT|Windows NT]]. Specifically she is typically a depiction of Windows NT 3.X. She serves mostly as a maternal and protective figure for other Windows OS-tans.

===General===
NT-tan is depicted as a woman with purple hair, and blue or purple eyes, and a ponytail held by a large blue bow. Her exact age, build and hair/eye color vary by artist. Most commonly her outfit is a simple pink dress, sometimes with a long-sleeved shirt under it, and an apron.
She mainly represents NT 3.x, and is the mother of [[2K-tan]], [[Inu-T]] and the other NT releases. When an NT-tan is being referred to, it's usually this design; the other accepted NT design is now almost always known as "Inu-T".  
 
She is sometimes portrayed as the mother of the NT releases, as well as filling a motherly role for the Windows-tans generally. Frequently, she is depicted alongside [[Inu-T]].


Although usually seen as loving, sweet and motherly, a few artists' depictions show NT-tan as a bold, and sometimes crazed warrior, shown with a bladed weapon. One such depiction shows her alongside a similarly-armed Windows 95-tan, they are thought to have trained together. Her weapon is a western-style sword, usually either a rapier or a broadsword; this contrasts with [[95-tan]], who wields an eastern blade.  
Although she is usually depicted in domestic settings, a few artists' depictions portray NT-tan as a warrior. She is usually drawn with a western-style sword, contrasting her with the katana-wielding [[95-tan]].


===Appearance===
==Other NT Designs==
NT-mama is depicted as a young woman (though her age range varies from child to adult depending on the artist) with purple hair (ranging from lilac to very dark) and blue or purple eyes. Most commonly her outfit is a simple pink dress, sometimes with a long-sleeved shirt under it, and an apron over it.
====[[Inu-T]]====
Her hair is typically kept in a ponytail with a bow, similar to [[Inu-T]]'s.
There is a second popular NT personification known as "Inu-T". She is depicted as a young, blue haired dog-girl who wears a blue dress, and socks and gloves shaped like paws.  Whether she was originally meant as an alternative design to the previously mentioned NT-tan is unknown, but now Inu-T is commonly recognized as representing Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (a later NT-based operating system preceding [[:Category:Windows 2000|Windows 2000]].


====Deja Vu's Design====
Yet another NT-tan, Windows NT SP6, was designed by the dōjinshi group [[Dispute between Futaba Society and Déjà vu|Deja Vu]], but it was considered a bootleg design by Futaba society and not an recognized OS-tan by them.


==Depictions==
Outside of Deja Vu's doujins her design has not been used.

====History and Background====
====History and Background====
=====Creation and early life=====
Windows NT-tan's creation came about as a result of VMS developers from DEC hired to work with Microsoft to develop a next-generation OS, with VMS' power and OS/2's portability. She was born in 1989 when development on Windows NT started, cloned from VMS-tan's code, a sample brought over to the Microsoft labs without VMS-tan's knowledge or permission. She is not a complete clone of VMS-tan though, her code was also partly spliced together with OS/2-tan's.

When 95-tan was born, she and NT-tan trained and sparred together. They hardly ever met Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan, who were deliberately kept away from them by the family's higher-ups.

=====Achieving dominance in the server market=====
Her 1993 debut was successful. While she wasn't yet at her strongest, and not strong enough to defeat any of the Unix-tans in combat, she was able to exploit the weaknesses of their war-torn faction. Their territory was overran by her forces, and from defeating the Unix-tans, she secured a large part of the server market.

She further took over the market when she also conquered the DEC faction and defeated VMS-tan in a duel; she didn't know that VMS-tan was her mother, nor ever met her, so she didn't hold back in battle. The DEC Faction declined over the next few years, losing territory to her forces before collapse.
