		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;quot;==Technical details== MS-DOS (from the x86 DOS lineage) technically starts this lineage, as Windows was simply a graphical shell for it at first. By the time of Windows 95, Windo...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==Technical details==&lt;br /&gt;
MS-DOS (from the x86 DOS lineage) technically starts this lineage, as Windows was simply a graphical shell for it at first. By the time of Windows 95, Windows was a full-fledged OS but still had DOS underpinnings and relied on DOS as a bootloader, and the lineage ended in 2000 with the debut of the last 9x, ME. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In-story==&lt;br /&gt;
[[MSDOS|MS-DOS-tan]] and [[PCDOS|PC-DOS-tan]] were cloned from [[QDOS|QDOS-tan]], and identified as being from the x86 DOS (then CP/M) bloodline, but were named as the start of a new lineage, along with their sister [[Windows 1.0|Windows 1.0-tan]] in 1985. Their upbringing, culture, and the ties that MS-DOS and PC-DOS had to the early Windows-tans marked them apart considerably from the rest of the DOSes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Originally, MS-DOS and PC-DOS saw the other DOSes as competition and didn&amp;#039;t think much of them until many years later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Win 9x moniker for the DOS-based Windows-tans comes from the prominence of [[Windows 95|95-tan]]; her predecessors mostly lived in obscurity, 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan aren&amp;#039;t even acknowledged within the [[Windows Family]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Traits and abilities===&lt;br /&gt;
The 9x&amp;#039;s have widely varying hair colors and eye colors, but all of them are fairly petite (the tallest of them being 95 or 95 OSR 2.1). Their abilities have a lot of variation, such as 95&amp;#039;s sword-wielding, 98 and 98 SE&amp;#039;s mech piloting and ME&amp;#039;s scallion-wielding, but all of them have the ability to harness the DOS command line and programs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Affiliations===&lt;br /&gt;
All of the DOS/Win9x-based Windows-tans were born into the Windows Family or its predecessor (except for Windows 3.2-tan and 97-tan), but not all live there anymore, as some of them were exiled (1.0, 2.0), or defected (95 OSR 2.1, 2.5). &lt;br /&gt;
*1.0 and 2.0 are in the [[Binteeji Renmei]].&lt;br /&gt;
*The defectors are in the [[Wanderer Class]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[WinNT|NT branch]] and part of the 9x branch (composing of the canon Windows-tans plus MS-DOS) are united in the current-day Windows Family. They don&amp;#039;t know the two branches aren&amp;#039;t blood-related, let alone the DEC/VMS heritage of NT, as a lot of secrets have been kept from the younger generation Windows-tans, but happily treat each other as sisters nonetheless and are a close-knit family.&lt;br /&gt;
