Mac OS-tan was perhaps the first commonly-known and widely-supported Mac-tan during the early days of the OS-tan phenomenon.  Given the popularity of the Windows platform, it is likely that Mac OS-tan was simply meant to be a standalone personification of the Mac Operating System, in the same way that [[Linux|Linux-tan]] was meant to be a lump-sum of all Linux distributions.  In early drawings, Mac-tan appears in her standard platinum-white body suit (alluding to the iMac/OSX design motif) but, also with a rainbow-colored apple on her head, a throwback to the classic Macintosh.  Some manga strips also featured her battling against [[95-tan|Windows 95-tan]] during the [[OS-tan Wars]], during which time only the classic macs were available (System 7.5, for example).
