==Character Details==
==Character Details==
===General===
===General===
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Her nickname "Saseko"(させこ) corresponds to the kana syllables "sa"(さ) and "Se"(せ), which on a Japanese keyboard are on the "X" and "P" keys, with the "ko"() at the end of her name being a common ending for female Japanese names.
* 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.
