==History==
==History==
The Microsoft-IBM Family was founded around 1980 or 1981 with the release of Xenix, the acquisition of [[QDOS | QDOS== and the development of MS-DOS and PC-DOS. [[MITS Altair 8800 | MITS Altair 8800-tan]] was a de-facto member of the family and its benefactor, since Altair BASIC was developed by Microsoft and was their first product.

The OS-tans of the MS-IBM Family lived happy and sheltered childhoods but this all changed when the family broke up in 1990.

From MS's fueled imperialist ambitions, Windows 3.1-tan became even more popular, [[NT-tan | Windows NT-tan]] was created and conquered the server OS market, [[95-tan | Windows 95-tan]] was created and conquered the consumer OS market in the 90's OS Wars. Their success led to the modern [[Windows Family]] faction.

Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan were part of the early Windows Family faction but were mainly kept separate from MS-DOS-tan and the other Windows-tans, and were ultimately exiled during the [[OS Wars]]. 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan later joined and helped establish the [[Binteeji Renmei]].

OS/2-tan turned bitter and felt betrayed from 3.1-tan's, NT-tan's and 95-tan's success and has in fact fought (and lost) against the latter two. This led to her forming the [[Antisoft Coalition | Anti$oft Coalition]].

Xenix-tan was forced to retire in 1989, shortly before the breakup. She fought in the Unix Wars but was still loyal to the MS-IBM Family (and later the early Windows Family) to the very end when she got killed in action.
