Operating System/2 (OS/2) was originally developed as a joint project between IBM and Microsoft. It's intention was to replace the antiquated Disk Operating System (DOS) as the operating system of choice, which by that time, Microsoft and IBM saw was quickly becoming obsolete. | Operating System/2 (OS/2) was originally developed as a joint project between IBM and Microsoft.

OS/2-tan is represented as a blue-haired woman wearing glasses, a purple Star Trek Starfleet uniform (more specifically the Starfleet uniform from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), C badge, blue skirt, black boots and a belt with a stylized depiction of the 5-colored OS/2 logo. The C on her badge mathematically means greater than the speed of light and can be interpreted as warp speed. Her hair has some white streaks in it, its length nearly equals her own height, and has the unique ability to move on its own and assist OS/2-tan with multitasking. Her sentient hair is a reference to OS/2's superior multithreading abilities. | OS/2-tan is represented as a blue-haired woman wearing glasses, a purple Star Trek Starfleet uniform (more specifically the Starfleet uniform from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), C badge, blue skirt, black boots and a belt with a stylized depiction of the 5-colored OS/2 logo.

OS/2-tan in the present day has a bitter, volatile, and borderline psychopathic disposition from all the betrayal she weathered over the decades. She is however loyal to the friends she does have and is a natural-born leader. | OS/2-tan in the present day has a bitter, volatile, and borderline psychopathic disposition from all the betrayal she weathered over the decades.

It has never been said outright whether eCS-tan is OS/2-tan's younger sister or daughter, but either way, she is her successor whom she has placed a lot of trust in. However, she never officially recruited eCS-tan into the A$C because deep down she is afraid of eCS-tan making the same mistakes she did and would feel a lot of guilt for that. While happy to see her, OS/2-tan is concerned about eCS-tan not being dissuaded from joining the group. | |||
===Alternate character interpretation=== | |||
Her backstory was drafted before OS/2's last support was dropped, one alternate interpretation is that after that happened, she would grow to come to terms with the past, and abandon her vendettas even though it would be among the most emotionally painful things she has done; in the process though, she won't need to keep her successor at a distance, and over time would also gain the trust of the friendlier and more forgiving Windows-tans before eventually reconciling with old rivals. | |||
