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).

An early alternate outfit was especially skimpy, wearing a blue miniskirt, high-heeled shoes, and a midriff-bearing tube top with "XP" on the front. She usually dresses in a blue-and-white stylized schoolgirl outfit with ribbons and detached sleeves for decoration. | ||

The portrayal of XP-tan as a shallow piece of bloated eye candy seems to have changed ever since the debut of [[:Category:Windows Vista|Windows Vista]], its much higher hardware requirements and even fancier interface. In hindsight, XP had very high requirements for its time, but nowadays is able to run well on low-end computers, and XP's Luna GUI is simple-looking compared to Vista's and 7's Aero. While XP-tan may still be portrayed as dense and a big eater, she's now more likely to be seen as more reliable, dependable and practical than she ever was before. | The portrayal of XP-tan as a shallow piece of bloated eye candy seems to have changed ever since the debut of [[:Category:Windows Vista|Windows Vista]], its much higher hardware requirements and even fancier interface.

===Deja Vu Works=== | |||
In Deja Vu's doujins, 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 Deja Vu's doujins, she is seen as a somewhat dense but undeniably beautiful and envied character, easily compared to Mikuru Asahina from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu.

* | * XP-tan's nickname, Saseko (させこ), derives from the X and P keys on a QWERTY keyboard being in the same places as the kana for ''sa'' (さ) and ''se'' (せ), respectively, on a Japanese keyboard; ''-ko'' (～子/～こ) is a common suffix in Japanese women's and girls' names. | ||
