==Technical Details== | |||
Windows 7 is an operating system first released on July 22nd, 2009, and to the general public on October 22nd, 2009. It built off of many of the same features introduced in Windows [[Vista]], upgrading them and improving them to be more stable. Windows 7 also introduced multi-touch support, an updated shell, and the HomeGroup networking system. Windows 7, unlike XP and Vista, did not feature many Microsoft programs (such as Movie Maker and Photo Gallery) standard, but instead as part of a free download named Windows Essentials. | |||

Although most often seen as a silhouette, [http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php? | Although most often seen as a silhouette, [http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pid=7417 Vienna-tan] is depicted as almost an older-looking version of Inu-T, with more mechanical-looking ears and longer hair and tail. She was named for 7's codename, Vienna, and was used as a placeholder while the community waited for the OS's release. | ||
===The 7-tan Lolis=== | ===The 7-tan Lolis=== | ||
With the flood of -tans with 7's release, a couple non-canon and semi-canon loli-type mascots were released. The Futaba Loli has silver hair and red glasses, and wears some sort of grey headpiece. she wears a frilly skirt and a tube top, and is commonly depicted with a mouse pointer squeezing her in some way. There is a picture of an older version of her [http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/images/4/45/Futaba_loli_7.jpg here.] | With the flood of -tans with 7's release, a couple non-canon and semi-canon loli-type mascots were released.

The other loli of mention is around the same age region as Futaba's, with white hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. She wears a dress made out of the new Windows logo, with long white sleeves and a bow. Her hair is curled into twindrills in the front, toward the bottom, and she wears hairclips on either side of her head that look like reddish bubbles with "7" inside. she has a generally sleepy demeanor. Given her depictions and overall look, she is a heavy reference to Chivistan, one of the Windows Vista characters.

===The 7 Cosplays=== | ===The 7 Cosplays=== | ||
It became something of a mini-meme to have pictures of the current -tans dressing up in only some tape over their bodies (and some variations, depending on the -tan) in the shape of a "7", in the belief that they wanted to be 7-tan to gain a resurgence of popularity and maybe a second chance at being top dog. Given the small amount of art of this, they can also be disputed as cosplay pictures of the respective -tans rather than a variation of 7's mascot. | It became something of a mini-meme to have pictures of the current -tans dressing up in only some tape over their bodies (and some variations, depending on the -tan) in the shape of a "7", in the belief that they wanted to be 7-tan to gain a resurgence of popularity and maybe a second chance at being top dog.
