==Technical Details== | |||
Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) is an operating system for x86 personal computers developed by Microsoft. It was essentially a rebranded 86-DOS, itself a copy of CP/M. | |||

MS-DOS is most commonly represented as a | MS-DOS-tan is most commonly represented as a schoolgirl, with black or dark grey hair in pigtails decorated with "DOS"-shaped hair ties; her hair ties are usually blue, but are sometimes depicted in the colors of the MS-DOS prompt logo as shown in Windows. She wears round glasses, a white button-down blouse with a light blue skirt and suspenders. She carries around a PC keyboard. | ||
She originally represented the DOS prompt (In early pictures, including the one in the infobox, her armband says "Prompt") and assumed to be a catch-all for all the DOS OSes, but now more specifically represents MS-DOS. | |||
Personality-wise, MS-DOS-tan is generally depicted as rather shy and mousey, often posed peeking around corners. The implication is that, like MS-DOS itself on 9x Windows, she is always lurking somewhere in the background, just out of sight. | |||

Another representation of MS-DOS is Windows 3.1-tan's cat, who can shapeshift into a catgirl in a nurse's outfit. It isn't known if she was an alternative MS-DOS character since the 'main' MS-DOS-tan is rarely drawn, but in most fanon, both characters co-exist. | Another representation of MS-DOS is Windows 3.1-tan's cat, who can shapeshift into a catgirl in a nurse's outfit.

In the backstories created at OSC, MS-DOS-tan is the twin sister of PC-DOS-tan; younger sister of [[QDOS | QDOS-tan]], and biological daughter of [[DR-DOS | DR-DOS-tan]]. | In the backstories created at OSC, MS-DOS-tan is the twin sister of PC-DOS-tan; younger sister of [[QDOS | QDOS-tan]], and biological daughter of [[DR-DOS | DR-DOS-tan]]. | ||

She and PC-DOS-tan have the habit of reuniting (in secrecy from the Windows-tans of the Windows Family, who do not know of PC-DOS-tan's existence) with each other every so often and when they do, both of their personalities change dramatically, to their cheerful former selves. | She and PC-DOS-tan have the habit of reuniting (in secrecy from the Windows-tans of the Windows Family, who do not know of PC-DOS-tan's existence) with each other every so often and when they do, both of their personalities change dramatically, to their cheerful former selves. | ||

In OSC Annex fanon, the EGL portrayal is her younger self, from before the OS Wars. | |||
