'''The OS-Tan Wars''' refers to a series of battles between different OS-Tan Factions, mainly analogous on the market competition of the mid-1990's. However, it can be said that the OS-Tan Wars extend as far back as 1981, when a computer's operating system rivaled its hardware in importance as a benchmark.<br />
<br />
Although at the time, battles occurred between nearly every faction (e.g., [[Commodore-tans|Commodore]] vs [[Atari-tans|Atari]]), the main competitors were [[Microsoft Windows| Microsoft]], sponsored by the industry giant '''IBM''', and [[AppleOS | Apple]]. Using IBM's corporate mass, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] was able to grab a large portion of PC users early on, giving them an advantage in latter battles. After the release of [[Windows 1.0]], IBM expected [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] to aid in the development of [[OS2 | OS/2]] as agreed. Development on [[OS2 | OS/2]] was slower than expected, and produced an amazing, but rather buggy v2.0. [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] decided it was in it's own best interest to abandon IBM and the [[OS2 | OS/2]] project for it's own landmark OS, [[Windows 3.1]]. The [[OS2 | OS/2]] project was further harmed when IBM executives secretly sent employees to help aid the development of [[NT-tan | Windows NT]]. From 1985-1995, while [[AppleOS|Apple]] began to flounder under the rule of John Scully, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] steadily gained ground against [[AppleOS|Apple]]. <br />
<br />
In 1995, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] presented it's foremost challenge to [[AppleOS|Apple]], [[95-tan|Windows 95]]. By uniting [[MSDOS | MS-DOS]] with it's graphical counterpart, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] was able to drive most other DOS-compatible Operating Systems out of the market. Compared to [[AppleOS|Apple's]] [[OS7 | System 7,]] [[95-tan|Windows 95]] was much better marketed, and secured [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft's]] position as provider of the most commonly used consumer OS. In addition, they capitalized on the fallout of the [[Unix Wars]] by deploying [[NT-tan | Windows NT]] to service the gaps created in the workstation and server markets. <br />
<br />
The years that followed can be considered relatively quiet, as [[AppleOS|Apple]] struggled to keep afloat against the flood of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] PC's. The late 90's, however, showed some action return to the OS arena. With the return of Steve Jobs to [[AppleOS|Apple]], and the introduction of the iMac (now called iFruit) and [[OSX | Mac OS X]], [[AppleOS|Apple]] began to gain market share. [[Linux]], the open-source OS anomaly, also began to gain greater popularity, especially in underdeveloped and developed markets previously ignored by [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]]. Now [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] is under heavy assault from all sides, in terms of quality, price, security and accessibility. In this sense, the future cannot be reliably predicted, and perhaps there may never be a conclusion to the OS-tan War.<br />

Using IBM's corporate mass, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] was able to grab a large portion of PC users early on, giving them an advantage in latter battles. After the release of [[Windows 3.1]], IBM expected [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] to aid in the development of [[OS2 | OS/2]] as agreed.

From 1985-1995, while [[AppleOS|Apple]] began to flounder under the rule of John Scully, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] steadily gained ground against [[AppleOS|Apple]]. In 1995, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] presented it's foremost challenge to [[AppleOS|Apple]], [[95-tan|Windows 95]]. By uniting [[MSDOS | MS-DOS]] with it's graphical counterpart, [[Microsoft Windows|Microsoft]] was able to drive most other DOS-compatible Operating Systems out of the market.

The years that followed can be considered relatively quiet, as [[AppleOS|Apple]] struggled to keep afloat against the flood of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] PC's. The late 90's, however, showed some action return to the OS arena.
