This character represents the first edition of [[wikipedia:Windows 98| Windows 98]]. She is represented as a shy and small pre-teen girl with short navy blue hair with a clip shaped like 98, the Windows logo as part of a necktie or ascot and a schoolgirl outfit with a sleeveless white blouse, blue skirt, dark-colored shoes, long socks and gloves.<br />
<br />
She is usually seen with [[Windows 98SE| 98SE-tan]], and is said to fancy [[Homeo]].<br />
<br />
===Vulcan Toys===<br />
Two early designs that continue to be used alongside the 98 an 98SE-tans are a pair of stick-limbed snack-boxes with a face and version number drawn in crayon, based on the Vulcan 300 toy that appeared in the anime series Konjiki no Gash Bell!!/Zatch Bell!. <br />
<br />
This is a holdover from the very early days before the designs of the primary OS-tans had settled. Generic stick-limbed boxes were often used as placeholders; there had been instances of small DOS and Windows 3.11 boxes before other designs gained popularity. <br />
<br />
Both girls now make regular use of these as mechanical suits. The mech-box used by 98 is blue in colour, and likewise the 98SE mech-box has a green theme. The mechs are sometimes shown as guardians or friends to the 98-tans, otherwise the two girls can be seated inside them as pilots. The box sizes can vary, ranging from doll-like when carried by the girls to taller than an adult when they ride inside them. While usually used as toys or weapons, they can serve other purposes, such as a clubhouse, a shelter, or a place to hide. (The boxes also appear to be less stable than the girls themselves; When a non-DOS based OS-tan enters the box, it has a tendency to fall apart.)<br />
<br />
==Other roles==<br />
In the [[OSR2.5tan 4Koma| comic that created 95 OSR 2.5-tan]], 98-tan could be considered the main character. [[95 OSR 2.5-tan]] sees her as a rival, but the rivalry isn't mutual, and 98-tan sees her as a well-meaning friend.<br />

Released 1987, Windows 2.0 was the second release of the Microsoft Windows line. While it offered improvements over its predecessor, it was still quite rudimentary and incomplete. <br />
<br />
==Character Details==<br />
===Physical===<br />
Windows 2.0-tan is depicted as a young girl with blue eyes, short, hime-cut black hair with two long locks and bangs. She wears a blue and white school uniform with lavender socks and black shoes, and a white headband whose ends have been tied in the shape of "2.0". <br />
<br />
She is often depicted with leather gloves, tools, scuffs and dirt, reflecting her role as a stone-mason. <ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/c-quel/art/Chibi-Windows-1-0-and-2-0-tan-104809209 Chibi Windows 1.0 and 2.0]</ref><br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
2.0-tan is sensitive, shy and mature beyond her years. Though she had a trusting personality and cheery outlook earlier in life, she is now mistrustful and perpetually melancholy. <br />
<br />
She deals with trauma from the breakup of her family and her subsequent exile, manifesting in bouts of sleepwalking and night terrors. <ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,460.msg35993.html#msg35993 "OS-tan families"]: "1.0-san doesn't say a thing, but her expression is enough to let Amiga know what's happening. She gets dressed and runs outside in the moonlit pasture, until she hears 2.0-chan gasping, crying and convulsing near a creek."</ref><br />
<br />
==History and Background==<br />
2.0-tan was born into the old [[Microsoft-IBM_Family | MS-IBM family]] and lived a carefree childhood, getting into mischief and playfully facing off against rival Mac gangs. She was loved and cared for by her mother [[OSC Windows 1.0 | 1.0-tan]] and the family maid [[Xenix | Xenix-tan]].<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,460.msg35993.html#msg35993 "OS-tan Families"]: 'She then meets off with a young OS/2-tan who loves to ruffle her hair, and later with the two DOS sisters. Before they head home, they go off to fish for a very civil, Musical-style face-off . . . with the local Mac Gang, but Xenix-san comes in to interject and takes the little troublemakers back "home" . . . There they have a very pleasant dinner prepared by Xenix with help from 1.0-san . . .'</ref> She was especially close with her older stepsister [[OS/2 | OS/2-tan]], who initially pitied 2.0-tan but came to respect her as a peer,<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,1200.msg12681.html#msg12681 "OS-tan Annex Project"]: 'When Windows 2.0-tan was born, for example, OS/2-tan took pity on what she thought would be the "last Windows" ever created, and looked after her like an overprotective step sister. Soon both would become genuinely friendly though.']</ref> going as far as making a pact to stay with each other no matter what.<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,460.msg35993.html#msg35993 "OS-tan Families"]: "Both of them exchange promises to look after one another, and always be together to the end."</ref><br />
<br />
Her idealism was damaged after Xenix-tan left, the official line that she'd retired suddenly not matching with OS/2-tan's eyewitness account of the event.<ref>"Later the kids are told that Xenix-san wanted to retire early, but OS/2-tan confides to 2.0-chan her concerns."</ref> However, her doubts were assuaged by the birth of [[Windows 3.1 | Windows 3.1-tan]], and her new role as big sister,<ref>"3.0-chan is born and any lingering fear or doubt by 2.0-chan is dispelled by her energetic and bubbly little sister."</ref> even as she drifted away from OS/2-tan because of the latter's rigorous training.<ref>"OS/2-tan also wants to join them, but is mysteriously put into a near excessive training hours . . ."</ref> 2.0-tan didn't realize that 3.1-tan was being trained to replace OS/2-tan, although OS/2-tan had suspicions. <br />
<br />
Any remaining illusions were broken when the family was suddenly and acrimoniously split into separate IBM and MS factions. OS/2-tan tried to give 2.0-tan instructions, but was taken away before she could.<ref>" OS/2 spots 2.0-chan and screams out some hurried and desperate things that sound like warnings or instructions, but 2.0-chan is taken out of earshot range before she could hear it all."</ref> While 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan remained with the family for several years afterward, they were eventually banished,<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,627.msg52826.html#msg52826 "OS-tan theories and discussion"]: "the two were still around after NT-san and 95-an were born. But given the direction the company was already going in, the NT and 95 were pushed into training, indoctrination and conditioning almost immediately. Since mixing with their NON-belligerent relatives would've been counterproductive, it's likely neither pair was made to meet one another . . . "</ref> living as wanderers amidst the chaos of the OS Wars and Unix Wars.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/bellacielo/art/Linux-tan-comic-page-30-104870902 Linux-tan comic, page 30]</ref><br />
<br />
2.0-tan and her mother eventually banded together with [[Amiga | Amiga-tan]], [[Apple II | Apple II-tan]] and others, forming the [[Binteeji Renmei]] as a sanctuary for vintage OS-tans.<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,460.msg35993.html#msg35993 "Mac Party Redux!"]</ref> Here, 2.0-tan found the security and purpose her life had been missing, and friends who understand her.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Angelica (Gunslinger Girl) is cited as an inspiration for Windows 2.0-tan.<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,239.msg7184.html#msg7184 "Inspiration"]</ref><br />

Oichi-san has short brown hair with pink flowers decorating each side of her headdress.<br />
Like [[95-tan]] she is depicted in traditional Japanese clothing, this is likely for the same reason as well as it gives a sense that they are older fashion than more modern systems.<br />
She is about the same height as [[Windows 3.1]].<br />
<br />
Her design shares many design similarities with modern [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokeshi Kokeshi] dolls.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
The "ichi" in name likely refers to her representing [[Windows 1.0]].<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
She often depicted as being reserved, modest and soft-spoken; giving her big sister energy even compared to Oobaba-sama.<br />
She is also shown to prefer using older technologies, such as a Famicom rather than something newer.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
She is said to be the head of the Windows Family, and [[Windows_3.1 | Oobaba-sama]]'s older sister.<br />
Much of her art depicts her spending time with [[Windows_3.1 | Oobaba-sama]], in role of big sister tolerating a younger sibling.<br />
<br />
[[95-tan]] is also frequently depicted with her, likely due to them both having designs based around wearing traditional Japanese clothing.<br />

One of the more popular OS-tans, '''95-tan''' is depicted as a traditional lady from the early modern era of Japan. This is much due to her status as an older version of modern Windows. She is a gentle-looking brown haired woman in a kimono, with a hair ribbon showing the four Windows colors. The pattern of her kimono is based on the file hana256.bmp, which was used as a desktop wallpaper pattern in the Japanese version of Windows. Her costume is a traditional kimono and a hakama of Japan, and she wears thick sandals, geta on her feet. These are women's college student's typical clothes as seen in the earliest period during the course of the modernization in Japan (from the Meiji period to the Taisho period), and the cultural background for the comparison of the modernization of Windows to modernization of Japan is seen there. <br />
<br />
95-tan's most common activities are drinking tea, serving meals or doing other housework. One recurring theme is her unfamiliarity with newer, post Win-95 technologies, such as USB devices and broadband internet connections. While appearing to be one of the more stable OS-tans, she is also often depicted wielding a katana in an aggressive manner, usually toward the [[MacOS|Mac-tans]], but also when disciplining troublemakers within her own family. This symbolizes the fact that it was her generation of operating systems that Microsoft finally achieved full dominance of the personal computer market. One comic strip shows her talking to other OS-tans about beating up MacOS; and 95 is commonly portrayed with an overwhelming hatred of the Macintosh OS-Tans, particularly her bitter rival MacOS-tan. Due the popular belief that Mozilla Firefox is incompatible with Windows 95, several OS-tan four-panel comics have been made portraying other OS-tans encouraging 95-tan to think in Russian! and 95-tan's inability to internalize the Russian language enough to accomplish this.<br />

'''3.1-tan''' (大婆様, Oobaba-sama) is an OS-tan representing the Windows 3.x series.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Obaba's history is not clearly documented across any source, but one plausible and the most likely origin of her design is [https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/32292 a drawing] by eg33 first uploaded to Danbooru in 2006, though the design has been seen in various OS-tan related communities since early 2004. This warrants a conclusion that her design originated between late 2003 and early 2004. Obaba's design since then, however, has widely varied in its coloring, proportions, outfit, and other traits in works depicting her. Obaba possesses great popularity to this day in the Eastern OS-tan community, more popular than [[Windows XP|XP-tan]] or [[Windows ME|ME-tan]] by artistic output<ref>See posts on Pixiv for tag "大婆様"</ref> while remaining somewhat niche within the West, though with a varyingly consistent output of artwork on both sides of the fandom. She holds the most posts out of any OS-tan on Pixiv, and the fourth most posts of any OS-tan on Danbooru, ahead of [[Windows 95|95-tan]] and behind [[Windows 2000|2K-tan]], ME-tan and XP-tan. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Obaba appears as a [[wikt:lolibaba|loribaba]] with either purple or gray hair, wearing a dress that widely varies in specific composition across different artists, but possesses a general purple color scheme and employs traits typical of Gothic Lolita fashion. Among her consistent traits are red eyes, a large bow located either on the front or back of her hair, and a smaller bow atop her chest bearing a metal "3.1" badge. Contemporary works most often involve more purple given to her design, while contemporaneous works from OS-tans' origin are more accurate to the colored eg33 work's composition.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Obaba can be argued to have one of the least consistent personalities of any OS-tan (not to be said as a negative trait), but her presentation on Futaba, specifically noted on its section of the Nijiura wiki, is that of a soft-spoken older woman in a far younger body. <ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/2jiwiki/pages/292.html</ref> This depiction as noted before does not appear very consistently across many works, likely owing to the Nijiura Wiki's crowdsourced nature; as such, despite its somewhat contemporaneous nature, it cannot be taken solely as an accurate descriptor of her personality.<br />

Released in 2000 as the successor to [[Windows NT|Windows NT 4.0]], Windows 2000 was marketed as the most reliable and secure version of Windows to date; a fact that generally held true as far as reliability goes, but unfortunately, its security was quickly compromised by many major viruses being created for it. As a result, although it was succeeded by [[XP-tan|Windows XP]] for desktops and [[2003 Server|Windows Server 2003]] for servers, Microsoft continued to release security patches for it regularly until they ended support on 13 July 2010; over 10 years after the original release.<br />
<br />
It is worth noting that there was plans for a home edition, codename [[Neptune]], but it only saw a few test builds before being dissolved into Windows XP<br />
<br />
==Character details==<br />
<br />
===General description===<br />
The personification for Windows 2000 was one of the first characters created. A few variants exist, but the most common is 2k-tan, the personification for Windows 2000 Professional. She is typically drawn as an intelligent, professional, reserved looking woman with short blue hair, glasses, and hairclips that resemble cat ears flanking a small white bonnet or ruffle, similar to maid's hairclip that shows the windows logo. The cat ear-shaped hairclips are a pun: "2K" in Japanese is "Ni-Ke", the meowing sound in Japanese is "nya", so she is also known as "Nya-ke". <br />
<br />
Her outfit resembles a swimsuit suggesting the Windows logo colors, and she wears a blue long coat. <br />
<br />
This is thought to reflect the opinion that Windows 2000 is the most stable, dependable, and balanced system. She often acts like the older sister or dependable woman among the Windows-tans and is one of the domain controllers for this reason. In addition, because of the greater stability of Win2K compared with WinME (which was released around the same time), 2K-tan is often described as a guardian of [[Windows ME|ME-tan]]. <br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The blue in the picture in her [[:Image:Win2000.jpg| 100x100 px avatar]] is close to the default Windows 2000 desktop colour.<br />
<br />
* An [[Nyake|alternate design]], playing on the punny name of "Nya-ke" shows 2K-tan having real cat ears and a tail (instead of mechanical cat ear-shaped hair clips), matching her swimsuit, gloves and boots.<br />

Windows 2000 is the successor to [[Windows NT]] 4.0, and the first widely-available NT-based Windows Distribution. It was aimed at the business sector and thus was widely used in offices and servers rather than homes. To make up for this, Microsoft released [[Windows ME]] around the same time, which was aimed at the home market, but ME's lack of stability meant that 2000 stayed around quite a bit longer. Indeed, the professional, sturdy OS was supported for 10 years, rather long given the lifecycle of some OSes. While it was initially the most secure OS that Microsoft had ever released, some ambitious individuals took this as a challenge, and as a result several hard-hitting viruses were created specifically to target it. While it was succeeded by [[XP-tan|Windows XP]] in 2001, Microsoft continued to release security patches for it until the end of its lifecycle in 2010.<br />
<br />
Windows 2000 features upgrades to the GUI of NT, improved support for users with disabilities, encryption, improved system management tools, and several features present in the [[Windows 98]] line, such as Internet Tools (Outlook Express, IE 5, and others), and extended plug and play support.<br />
Windows 2000 was supposed to be adapted into a home version, codenamed [[Neptune|Windows Neptune]]. Neptune saw the release of a few betas, but sadly never made it out of test lab, and it was eventually integrated into Whistler, which later became Windows XP.<br />
<br />
==Character Details==<br />
2k-kun is a man in his late 20's to early 30's sporting a rounded blue haircut, blue-grey eyes, and metallic cat ears (albeit smaller than his sister). He is tall, and constantly seen in business attire of some sort. He is overall a calm, rational man, typically looking after his brothers and sisters with a sort of fatherly nature about him, not unlike [[95-kun]]. Though he can get angry, for the most part he doesn't, staying as a carefree, happy=go-lucky kind of guy.<br />
<br />
2k-kun works in an office with some of his fellow -tans and kuns.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?album=243&pos=1] Like 95-kun, he likes drinking (though not as much as 95-kun), and often goes drinking after work with his coworkers (who are also some of his friends). Most of the people he hangs out with are from the [[Nijiura and Futaba Characters]], such as his best friend Eigyouseki[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10794] and close friend/love interest Daiginjou.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10804] It has been suggested that 2k might have some sort of romantic inkling for Inu-t (or at least thoughts about her), but this lacks ample evidence in that it has only been shown once.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-1187] 2k can also be seen hanging out with ME-kun, XP-kun, and Pizza-kun. (Just like with 2k-tan, 2k-kun has a close, special relationship with Pizza-kun. Unlike his sister and Pizza-tan, however, the relationship is less one of a fangirl and her idol and more of an office worker and his assistant. Pizza-kun also exhibits some degree of control over 2k-kun, in the way that 2k-kun seems to have some sort of crush on Pizza-kun. It might be slightly similar to the relationship between Momo and Sumire in ''Tramps Like Us''. It isn't known whether or not Pizza-kun works in the same office as 2k-kun, but given that Pizza-kun also always wears a suit, it's a possibility.)<br />
<br />
2k-kun seems to enjoy spending time with his family, though perhaps due to his position in the office, doesn't seem to spend much time at home. Despite this, he is often shown doing the activities we might see an adult older brother doing for kid siblings (Such as playing Santa on Christmas Eve[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-3817]), and seems to get along well with his older siblings. Given 2k's assumed role of guardian of ME, he spends a bit more time with ME-kun than his other siblings (though he spends plenty of time with XP-kun, too). ME-kun is much more capable than his sister, however, so the extent of caring for him might just involve 2k bringing him to school on his way to work. If nothing else, the pair seem to play off of each other in some way, even if ME-kun occasionally makes trouble for 2k (although not in the same way as ME-tan would for 2k-tan).[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-7918] 2k-kun's relationship with XP-kun seems to be one of an older brother looking after his younger sibling, but more in a mentorish sort of way. 2k has been known to look in on or cheer XP-kun on during his training[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10789], and hang out with him after.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10440]<br />

==Character Details==<br />
===General===<br />
XP-tan is a dark-haired girl with ribbons in her hair and an XP hair ornament worn on the left side (infrequently, she is depicted with ornaments on both sides). As Windows XP was originally criticized for bloating a system and being very pretty without being equally as useful, XP-tan wears tight clothing and has large breasts. An early alternate outfit was especially skimpy, wearing a blue miniskirt, high-heeled shoes, and a midriff-bearing tube top with "XP" on the front. She usually dresses in a blue-and-white stylized schoolgirl outfit with ribbons and detached sleeves for decoration.<br />
<br />
Also, [[Breast Size, Hunger, and Memory|as Windows XP used up large amounts of memory for its time]], XP-tan is often seen eating or holding an empty bowl labeled "Memory". <br />
<br />
Around 2014 there was a surge of art of XP-tan in observation of [[Windows XP]]'s extended support being ended by Microsoft on April 8th, 2014. Despite this Windows XP still occasionally received security patches, with the last one being in May 2019.<br />
<br />
====Early Characterization====<br />
When the OS-tan phenomenon was in its early stages, XP was at the time the current Windows OS, and was heavily criticized. XP-tan's personality is often portrayed as shallow and promiscuous; the latter may reference not just the eye candy interface, but also the large number of security exploits XP had early in its lifetime. There is a strip where 2K-tan derides XP-tan and calls her an "Activation Whore" since XP required activation over the phone or internet to set up; this was a change in Windows that was widely criticized at the time. She generally fills the role in the manga as the typical eye candy character, but alternate interpretations may be starting to change this.<br />
<br />
====Shift in Characterization====<br />
The portrayal of XP-tan as a shallow piece of bloated eye candy seems to have changed ever since the debut of [[:Category:Windows Vista|Windows Vista]], its much higher hardware requirements and even fancier interface. In hindsight, XP had very high requirements for its time, but nowadays is able to run well on low-end computers, and XP's Luna GUI is simple-looking compared to Vista's and 7's Aero. While XP-tan may still be portrayed as dense and a big eater, she's now more likely to be seen as more reliable, dependable and practical than she ever was before.<br />
<br />
==Depictions==<br />
===Deja Vu Works===<br />
In Deja Vu's doujins, she is seen as a somewhat dense but undeniably beautiful and envied character, easily compared to Mikuru Asahina from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu. She has had the most hentai scenes out of any of the OSes, much due to her large breasts, often drawn comically huge. However, her characteristically large breasts are envied by most other characters. <br />
<br />
==Usage Rights==<br />
The designer and owner of XP-tan has put out usage guidelines<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190317095912/http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Queen/5472/copyright.html Home page of the author's site] (archive)</ref> for her that translate to the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Regarding general personal activities that do not go through commercial sales channels (such as the production of derivative works such as doujinshi and non-commercial websites),<br />
Regarding the use of 4 characters: "XP-tan", "Dr. Norton", "Buster", and "DOS Prompt"<br />
<br />
We declare that we will not impose any restrictions or restrictions (you are free to use it as you please).<br />
<br />
Please note that we do not grant any license to Softbank Publishing Corp. to use the above characters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* XP-tan's nickname, Saseko (させこ), derives from the X and P keys on a QWERTY keyboard being in the same places as the kana for ''sa'' (さ) and ''se'' (せ), respectively, on a Japanese keyboard; ''-ko'' (～子/～こ) is a common suffix in Japanese women's and girls' names.<br />

<div>'''OS-tans''' (OSたん) are an Internet phenomenon that started on [[Futaba Channel]]. The '''OS-tan''' or simply '''OS Girls''' are the personification of several operating systems by various amateur Japanese artists. Although a pure fan creation, the appearance of each OS Girl is generally consistent across artists. The OS Girls are typically depicted as women and usually depicted as sisters of varying ages.<br />

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution, developed by Canonical as a branch from Debian GNU/Linux.<br />
<br />
==Character details==<br />
===General===<br />
She represents mainly the original Ubuntu, but in most interpretations also represents the official Ubuntu variants (Netbook Edition, Kubuntu and Xubuntu). There have been Kubuntu-tan designs, which some consider to be one of Ubuntu's younger sisters, others consider her the same character using the KDE GUI in place of Ubuntu's usual GNOME GUI.<br />
<br />
There is, however, a separate [[Lubuntu|Lubuntu-tan]].<br />
<br />
===Characterization===<br />
No matter the design, Ubuntu-tan is generally portrayed as happy, friendly and open-minded. She is knowledgeable and forgiving with those new to Linux; all of which are references to the customizable and user-friendly nature of the operating system. In the OS-tan expanded universe, she is one of the most popular and successful diplomats, towards other factions, and within the Linux Unix Consortium. She easily has her share of competitors within her faction, a consequence of her popularity, power and influence. <br />
<br />
Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others.<br />
<br />
As one of the most popular and well-known Linux-tans outside of the Linux and Unix circles, she is a direct competitor to the Mac OSX-tans, Windows XP-tan, Vista-tan and 7-tan.<br />
<br />
It is suggested that she is also fond of nature and wildlife, referencing the alliterative animal theme of Ubuntu's codenames. <br />
<br />
===Multiple designs===<br />
As of this date, there are several known renditions of Ubuntu-tan. The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/Ubuntu2.jpg first]''' was posted on 6/12/2005 by the Japanese artist Piro. This Ubuntu-tan is portrayed as a young, wild and happy-go-lucky girl with only a very slight dark-skinned complexion and blue eyes. She is scantily-clad with motif's from the default Human Gnome desktop theme and wears high-heeled sandals. Pieces of the Ubuntu logo are also featured as her hairclip and forming a kind of energy shawl around her chest.<br />
<br />
The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/JKHP_ubuntu1024.jpg second]''' rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun. This Ubuntu-tan is older, and has a kind, serene quality to her. Her clothing is also a combination of motifs based on the Ubuntu logo and the default Human Gnome desktop theme; however, she also sports armor and a spear, following the trend of depicting all Linux-tans as members of a warrior-class.<br />
<br />
Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. There have been several fanart renditions of Ubuntu-tan, usually more-or-less modeled after Juzo-kun's design, with varying styles of clothing.<br />

Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro; branched off of [[Debian|Debian GNU/Linux]] as a variant that's not just programmer-friendly, but user-friendly, and has a predictable, reliable update schedule. Ubuntu is largely targeted as desktop use, and also has a variants for servers, and used to have a version for netbooks until it got merged with the desktop version. It is available in more than 55 languages, and there are computers from vendors with Ubuntu pre-installed. <br />
<br />
==Character details==<br />
===General===<br />
She represents mainly the original Ubuntu, but in most interpretations also represents the official Ubuntu variants (Netbook Edition, Kubuntu and Xubuntu). There have been Kubuntu-tan designs, which some consider to be one of Ubuntu's younger sisters, others consider her the same character using the KDE GUI in place of Ubuntu's usual GNOME GUI.<br />
<br />
There is, however, a separate [[Lubuntu|Lubuntu-tan]].<br />
<br />
===Characterization===<br />
No matter the design, Ubuntu-tan is generally portrayed as happy, friendly and open-minded. She is knowledgeable and forgiving with those new to Linux; all of which are references to the customizable and user-friendly nature of the operating system. In the OS-tan expanded universe, she is one of the most popular and successful diplomats, towards other factions, and within the Linux Unix Consortium. She easily has her share of competitors within her faction, a consequence of her popularity, power and influence. <br />
<br />
Incidentally, the meaning of the word Ubuntu is generally suggested to mean humanity towards others.<br />
<br />
As one of the most popular and well-known Linux-tans outside of the Linux and Unix circles, she is a direct competitor to the Mac OSX-tans, Windows XP-tan, Vista-tan and 7-tan.<br />
<br />
It is suggested that she is also fond of nature and wildlife, referencing the alliterative animal theme of Ubuntu's codenames. <br />
<br />
===Multiple designs===<br />
As of this date, there are several known renditions of Ubuntu-tan. The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/Ubuntu2.jpg first]''' was posted on 6/12/2005 by the Japanese artist Piro. This Ubuntu-tan is portrayed as a young, wild and happy-go-lucky girl with only a very slight dark-skinned complexion and blue eyes. She is scantily-clad with motif's from the default Human Gnome desktop theme and wears high-heeled sandals. Pieces of the Ubuntu logo are also featured as her hairclip and forming a kind of energy shawl around her chest.<br />
<br />
The '''[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/10570/JKHP_ubuntu1024.jpg second]''' rendition was posted on 10/9/2005 by the Italian artist Juzo-kun. This Ubuntu-tan is older, and has a kind, serene quality to her. Her clothing is also a combination of motifs based on the Ubuntu logo and the default Human Gnome desktop theme; however, she also sports armor and a spear, following the trend of depicting all Linux-tans as members of a warrior-class.<br />
<br />
Both versions follow the theme of making Ubuntu a dark-skinned girl of probable African decent, given the South African roots of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. There have been several fanart renditions of Ubuntu-tan, usually more-or-less modeled after Juzo-kun's design, with varying styles of clothing.<br />

}}<br />
Amiga-tan or 'Miggy' is commonly drawn as a young, tall, friendly and energetic artist. She is one of the tallest vintage-tans, and towers over all of her contemporaries; this referencing how advanced and powerful the Amiga hardware is, while leaving her seemingly awkward and intimidating compared to them. Her original checkered shirt is based off the contemporary Amiga logo, although the monogram on her chest, the rainbow checkmark on her beret and rainbow eyes nod towards the older 80's logos. Her attire is meant to have a 50's retro look as she is a bit old-fashioned; however, her personality and ideas have (and continue to be) well ahead of their time. As an artist she carries around an art tote riddled with as many easter eggs as art supplies (although later renditions omitted the bag out of practicality). <br />
<br />
The beret she wears is the only part of her old [[Commodore Family]] uniform that she still wears. Her old uniform is a stylized, sleeveless sailor outfit with long white gloves; the blouse is white, the skirt and collar are blue and the scarf is red. In her youth, her hair was short and tied in pigtails with Amiga Boing Ball hair ties. <br />
<br />
Another depiction of Amiga-tan is her gala dress, this design debuted in Dec 2006 to commemorate the debut of Amiga OS 4.0.<br />
<br />
She is one of the few old-era OS-tans (not including the Mac-tans) that still remains very active and has the potential to stage a market comeback. But due to her preference of cooperation rather than competition, she strives to bring ALL underrepresented OS-tans to the public consciousness rather than only herself. Being a voice for the minority doesn't gain her much efficiency, but makes her particularly charismatic to both friends and strangers alike.<br />
<br />
===Alternate character interpretation===<br />
<br />
===Family and relationships===<br />
<br />
Like most old-era OS-tans, the [[Amigoid Family]] structure has historically been somewhat fragmented. Amiga-tan has a mother ([[TripOS]]-tan) and two daughters ([[MorphOS | MorphOS-tan]] and [[AROS | AROS-tan]]), but rarely has a chance to see them. When she was born into the service of the Commodore Family, TripOS-tan had to sign away her parental rights to Amiga-tan, and they have not met until recent years.<br />
<br />
Her daughters are actually cloned from her, since she had nothing to do with them being created; she refers to them as her daughters because it's more personal that way.<br />
<br />
====Commodore-tans====<br />
Her stepsisters are the [[Commodore Family|Commodore-tans]]: [[Commodore PET | Commodore PET-tan]], [[Commodore VIC-20 | Commodore VIC20-tan]], [[Commodore 64 | Commodore 64-tan]], [[CommodorePlus4 | Commodore Plus/4-tan]], [[Commodore 128 | Commodore 128-tan]] with whom she spent her entire youth; except for Commodore 65-tan, who she had never met until long after the Commodore Family disbanded).<br />
<br />
While in service, most of her stepsisters disliked her. PET-tan was constantly annoyed over her disregard for military etiquette, VIC-20-tan and C64-tan hated her for years, seeing her as a threat who would steal their following away. The rivalry was especially personal to C64-tan, who is an aspiring musician and hated that Amiga-tan is a talented musician. Plus/4 merely tolerated her, and C128-tan was somewhat friendly though. <br />
<br />
But it is only in recent years that she's been able to get along well with at least PET-tan, C64-tan and C128-tan.<br />
<br />
====AMIX (Amiga Unix)====<br />
AMIX-tan was from a Unix bloodline, and was a stepsister to Amiga and the rest of the Commodore Family. AMIX-tan was emotionally cold and calculating, but also lonely; most of her stepsisters were too busy competing amongst themselves or other home computer-tans to pay much attention to her. Amiga-tan, not being very competitive, spent some time with her and became her friend. <br />
<br />
====UNIX====<br />
Amiga-tan has met UNIX on occasion, and visits the Binteeji Renmei from time to time. UNIX is friends with her, and is the benefactress of the faction. This was because even at her most bitter after the pain of the Unix wars, she was amazed by Amiga-tan's kind treatment of AMIX-tan, her generosity towards others despite her hardship, and was just happy to meet someone friendly and honest for one of the first times in her life. <br />
<br />
==History and background==<br />
===Origins and early life===<br />
Amiga-tan has multiple origins, She is the daughter of TripOS-tan, and was originally going to get adopted into the Atari Family, as the Amiga began development by Atari employees, but when Amiga-tan was born, the Commodore Family offered Trip OS-tan a better deal for her under the condition that she sign away her parental rights. <br />
<br />
The circumstances of her early life sparked blood feuds between the Commodores and the Ataris, but even then, most of the Commodore-tans didn't get along with her; she just couldn't fit in, and struggled to cooperate with others even though she wanted to. The more militant of the Commodores saw her as competition rather than an ally, and wrote her off as being arrogant.<br />
<br />
Her biggest rival was to be Atari ST-tan, who herself was created in response to Amiga-tan being adopted into the Commodore family; Amiga-tan didn't take the rivalry that seriously (and if anything, C64-tan did much more seriously!) even though her followers did. She was created as an extremely advanced OS-tan, and was the most powerful personal computer-tan for several years. She could have easily dominated the gaming and graphics markets, but would have rather collaborated with others even though she wasn't good at it, and she wasn't a very good tactician, the latter referencing the botched advertisement campaigns of the Amiga. Those factors prevented her from gaining more territory and fortune for her family than she actually did. That was another, yet contradictory reason why C64-tan in particular hated her for years. <br />
<br />
In the final years of the Commodore Family, their financial hardships strained their relationships further, with VIC-20, C64 and Plus/4 treating Amiga as a scapegoat. While those tensions got worse, Amiga-tan attempted to remain neutral and indifferent to cope through it all, and not get involved with family politics. Her indifference didn't help in any way. When they went bankrupt in 1994, she didn't take it as hard as many of her stepsisters.<br />
<br />
===After the family's bankruptcy===<br />
{{WIP}}<br />
After the Commodore Family disbanded, everyone was left to fend for themselves, and many of them went their own ways. Amiga-tan was alone and wasn't prepared for the brutality of the OS Wars. She couldn't stop and help others, and this upset her a lot; all she could do was run from place to place, narrowly escaping the crossfire. During that time, she met [[Apple II|Apple II-tan]], [[Apple Lisa|Lisa-tan]] and [[GS/OS|GS/OS-tan]], who retired from the [[Apple Family]] to live on II-tan's farmland. II-tan allowed her to live with them, though Lisa-tan was indifferent, and GS/OS-tan was hostile at first, but they allied, motivated to help other OS-tans hurt by the war. <br />
<br />
During their war relief efforts, Amiga-tan and her new friends found [[Windows 1.0|Windows 1.0-tan]] and [[Windows 2.0|2.0-tan]] desperately wandering around in a ravaged land. At first 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan refused to join them, feeling guilty that they 'caused' the OS Wars and didn't deserve the help being offered to them. <br />

Windows XP Professional was released alongside [[Windows XP Home]] and was aimed specifically at the business and school sector. It succeeded [[Windows 2000]] and featured improvements to certain features, such as improved Encryption, and introduced new features, such as a new, more user-friendly GUI, faster boot time, hardware support improvements, Remote Desktop, new accessories and games, improved accessibility for disabled users, new system management utilities, handwriting recognition, Driver Rollback, expanded languages, and more.<br />
<br />
XP was succeeded by [[Windows Vista]] in 2007, but XP proved to be so popular that most people either switched back or continued to use it. Microsoft released service packs for XP starting in 2002, and XP's support was extended to 2014.<br />
<br />
==Character Details==<br />
XP-kun is a man in his late teens to early 20's. He looks older than his sister [[XP-tan]] despite being the younger brother, due in large part to his stature and well-developed muscles. Tall and muscular, XP-kun sports a long, brown-black braid, brown-black eyes, and scars on his chest forming the word "XP". His outfit consists of a collar, cuffs, and a long chinese-style loincloth all in the blue and white striped cuff pattern of his sister's outfit. (There also happen to be a few XP-kun variants, representing the different colour schemes available for the OS. They are shown as different characters, independent of XP-kun.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10790]) XP is brash but gentle, usually a nice, easy-going guy who just doesn't always think things through. He is very strong, but is kind to animals and children, and seems to respect people for who they are. Though he may be loud, he is just loud and cheerful.<br />
<br />
XP is most commonly seen in the company of either 2k-kun or Pizza-tan. The former plays the big brother card, cheering him on when he spars and hanging out with him in his downtime.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10440] The latter seems to have developed a sort of admiration for him (perhaps due to her being a fangirl of 2k-tan, and 2k-tan having a crush on XP-kun), and the two commonly hang out and spar together.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10793] It is with XP-kun that the only pictures of an older Pizza-tan have been seen. As mentioned, 2k-tan has a crush on XP-kun, but it is unknown if XP returns these feelings, or who (if anyone) he has feelings for.<br />
<br />
XP has also been seen in the company of his younger brothers Homeo and ME-kun. The former is usually just doing the typical poses or just hanging out. With Homeo, however, XP shares a special understanding, possibly due to them both having rather difficult sisters.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10821] He plays the regular older brother role here, being mischievous but not mean, and kindly looks out for and takes care of his little brother.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-1385]<br />
<br />
It has been shown that XP-kun is the only one to have a positive relationship with any one of the Troubled Windows USA, specifically his American sister/counterpart XPUSA-tan (not to be confused with Komeppo-tan). Given the two of them both like to train, the bond was only natural.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-1387]<br />

Being an OS designed for small devices, the personification of Windows CE (CE for short) is portrayed as diminutive and fairy-like; complete with gossamer wings and wielding a USB cable wand. Because a modified version of Windows CE was the operating system of the Sega Dreamcast console, there are several illustrations of CE standing upon or around the Dreamcast's swirl logo.<br />

==History==<br />
The Windows Family dates back to 1980 as part of the [[Microsoft-IBM Family]] and branched off of it from the Microsoft-IBM Family's breakup in 1990. <br />
<br />
During the 1980's with [[Windows 1.0 | Windows 1.0-tan]] and [[Windows 2.0 |Windows 2.0-tan]] as the only Windows OSes, the Windows-tans were rather obscure and low-key. The Windows-tans first achieved popularity with the advent of Windows 3.1-tan (then Windows 3.0-tan). Because of Windows 3.1-tan's success, the Microsoft-IBM Family broke up and the Windows Family started on its imperialist ambitions. <br />
<br />
Windows NT-tan was created to conquer the server market and Windows 95-tan to conquer the consumer market. NT-tan and 95-tan were paired together to help each other fight and conquer. But also as part of the Windows Family's imperialist ambitions, Windows 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan were banished during the OS Wars because they knew of the early IBM-Microsoft Family which the Family's executives thought would be better off forgotten and not taught to the younger generations of Windows-tans though MS-DOS-tan was kept around because MS-DOS was still a major seller. They were also unwilling and unable to carry out the scorched-earth tactics that NT-tan and 95-tan could.<br />
<br />
NT-tan established the Windows Family's foothold in the server market. While not as nearly as powerful as the Unix-tan forces that dominated the server market previously, she capitalized on clever marketing and the weaknesses of the Unix Family, war-torn by the Unix Wars.<br />
<br />
95-tan took the consumer market by storm, with her forces pillaging and conquering any competing territory that crossed their path, with her main competitors being the [[House of Mac | Mac-tans]] who were unprepared for the new style of war that developed during the [[OS-tan Wars | OS Wars]] of the mid-1990's. 95-tan's forces conquered nearly all the Mac-tans' territory, including their capital city.<br />
<br />
After the brutality of the OS Wars ended, NT-tan and 95-tan settled down and retired to a more peaceful and prosperous life with their younger relatives who enjoy the luxury of a largely sheltered life to this day. <br />

'''3.1-tan''' (大婆様, Oobaba-sama) is an OS-tan representing the Windows 3.x series.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Obaba's history is not clearly documented across any source, but one plausible and the most likely origin of her design is [https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/32292 a drawing] by eg33 first uploaded to Danbooru in 2006, though the design has been seen in various OS-tan related communities since early 2004. This warrants a conclusion that her design originated between late 2003 and early 2004. Obaba's design since then, however, has widely varied in its coloring, proportions, outfit, and other traits in works depicting her. Obaba possesses great popularity to this day in the Eastern OS-tan community, more popular than [[Windows XP|XP-tan]] or [[Windows ME|ME-tan]] by artistic output<ref>See posts on Pixiv for tag "大婆様"</ref> while remaining somewhat niche within the West, though with a varyingly consistent output of artwork on both sides of the fandom. She holds the most posts out of any OS-tan on Pixiv, and the fourth most posts of any OS-tan on Danbooru, ahead of [[Windows 95|95-tan]] and behind [[Windows 2000|2K-tan]], ME-tan and XP-tan. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Obaba appears as a [[wikt:lolibaba|loribaba]] with either purple or gray hair, wearing a dress that widely varies in specific composition across different artists, but possesses a general purple color scheme and employs traits typical of Gothic Lolita fashion. Among her consistent traits are red eyes, a large bow located either on the front or back of her hair, and a smaller bow atop her chest bearing a metal "3.1" badge. Contemporary works most often involve more purple given to her design, while contemporaneous works from OS-tans' origin are more accurate to the colored eg33 work's composition.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Obaba can be argued to have one of the least consistent personalities of any OS-tan (not to be said as a negative trait), but her presentation on Futaba, specifically noted on its section of the Nijiura wiki, is that of a soft-spoken older woman in a far younger body. <ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/2jiwiki/pages/292.html</ref> This depiction as noted before does not appear very consistently across many works, likely owing to the Nijiura Wiki's crowdsourced nature; as such, despite its somewhat contemporaneous nature, it cannot be taken solely as an accurate descriptor of her personality.<br />

She holds the most posts out of any OS-tan on Pixiv, adnd the fourth most posts of any OS-tan on Danbooru, ahead of [[Windows 95|95-tan]] and behind [[Windows 2000|2K-tan]], ME-tan and XP-tan. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Obaba appears as a [[wikt:lolibaba|loribaba]] with either purple or gray hair, wearing a dress that widely varies in specific composition across different artists, but possesses a general purple color scheme and employs traits typical of Gothic Lolita fashion. Among her consistent traits are red eyes, a large bow located either on the front or back of her hair, and a smaller bow atop her chest bearing a metal "3.1" badge. Contemporary works most often involve more purple given to her design, while contemporaneous works from OS-tans' origin are more accurate to the colored eg33 work's composition.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Obaba can be argued to have one of the least consistent personalities of any OS-tan (not to be said as a negative trait), but her presentation on Futaba, specifically noted on its section of the Nijiura wiki, is that of a soft-spoken older woman in a far younger body. <ref>https://w.atwiki.jp/2jiwiki/pages/292.html</ref> This depiction as noted before does not appear very consistently across many works, likely owing to the Nijiura Wiki's crowdsourced nature; as such, despite its somewhat contemporaneous nature, it cannot be taken solely as an accurate descriptor of her personality.<br />

<hr />
<div>The following serve as a set of guidelines, and in some cases rules, for editing the website. Guidelines are not absolute and serve as little more than recommendations, while rules may only be ignored under exigent circumstances.<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
<br />
=== Do not editorialize ===<br />
[[File:Editorializing.png|thumb|685x685px|An example of editorializing on OS-Tan Collections]]<br />
Do not editorialize your opinions into articles. Editorializing is the act of, rather than acting as a neutral maintainer of an encyclopedia, inserting subjective or personal opinions into articles. Editors possess the right to hold whatever opinions, no matter how subversive of any popular set of morals they are, but not to express them in ways that conflict with OS-Tan Commons' goal of being completely neutral and impartial. If you are found to editorialize or otherwise push your point of view onto the site's content, you will be deemed irredeemable and not compatible with the site's point of view, and permanently blocked.<br />
<br />
=== Do not edit in bad faith ===<br />
Editing in bad faith is the act of editing pages in any other interest than the encyclopedia's. While OS-Tan Commons' administration cannot and will not make any attempt to read its editors minds, we may conclude bad faith if patterns of editorializing behavior (if appealed and continued), general uncouthness, or any other factors Administration may subjectively conclude to be hallmarks of bad-faith editing. This rule also applies to vandalism, raiding, and any other clearly disruptive behavior.<br />
<br />
=== Do not upload any content that violates United States law ===<br />
The title of this rule is quite self-explanatory. Do not upload or share links to any content that violates applicable United States law. Obscenity law, however, has a different status. Obscenity law in the United States, such as 18 U.S. Code § 1462 [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1462], are entirely subjective and do not have an objective national standard for deeming content obscene. As obscenity is a matter regulated by the United States constitution, and not by OS-Tan Commons' administration or any of its users, we will not make any attempts to arbit what of a users' edits counts as obscene.<br />
<br />
==Guidelines==<br />
<br />
===State of the wiki===<br />
A significant portion of content on OS-Tan Commons is, as of April 2026, imported from OS-Tan Collections under a valid and irrevocable license. Licensing information for such content can be found [[OSTanCommons:Copyrights|here]] and distinguished from native edits by the "import>" prefix before the edits under View History.<br />
<br />
===OS-Tan Commons is uncensored===<br />
OS-Tan Commons is completely uncensored. The only other binding document to the users of this site is iHostART, the site's hosting provider, 's terms of service, which state (paraphrased) that (real) child sexual abuse material and cybercriminal activity are the only prohibited categories. As such, you are not required to paraphrase text or censor images.</div>Admin1https://os-tan.net/wiki/index.php?title=Homeo&diff=4423Homeo2026-04-27T03:37:08Z<p>Admin1: </p>

==Technical Details==<br />
Windows XP Home was released along side Windows XP Professional, and was aimed at home users specifically. As a result, Home lacks some of the features that Professional had, but still featured a host of new features such as an updated GUI, improved USB support, Driver Rollback, Remote Desktop, Faster Startup, Logon/Logoff and Hibernate Modes, improved system reliability, more games and accessories, and more. Service Packs were released for XP 3 times, starting on 9th September, 2002. These mainly put an emphasis on extra security, but also included other features, such as complete support for USB 2.0. With the Service Packs, however, came the need for greater hardware space, most notably an increase in RAM size. Despite this, XP proved to be so popular that support for it was extended to 2014.<br />
<br />
==Character Details==<br />
Homeo is a small boy of about 12 or 13. He has long green hair, bound into a ponytail like his sister, and green eyes with glasses (also like his sister). He wears a key-shaped hairclip on one or both sides of his head. He is usually seen in shorts and a coat with long, long sleeves, but due to his penchant for cosplay, he isn't always shown this way.<br />
Homeo loves to cosplay, specifically as female characters. Given his stature and hair length, he pulls off an extremely convincing trap, to the point where some people don't know he's a boy. This is likely influenced by his sister's excitement at his dressing up this way (though she has different ideas as to why), and his desire to become a woman. However, he only wants this so he can have a relationship with his sister; It is evident that the gender is not the issue here, just that they are two different genders. Part of his making a convincing trap is his personality; Homeo is a very sensitive young man, often doing things that make him uncomfortable just to make his sister or some of the other os-tans happy. Though Homeko seems to enjoy his cosplaying, it seems that there are some things about it that can make her upset, too.<br />
<br />
Homeo seems to have a romantic interest in his sister. Even without it, he often looks after his sister as she is often too preoccupied to do it herself. Through this, he seems to have developed an attraction to her, though she seems unaware of this fact (or, due to her profession as a yaoi doujinshi artist, thinks of his attraction and feminine nature as uke (yaoi bottom) traits). Homeo also seems to have some sort of attraction to [[98-tan]], who has a crush on him. The degree to which the feelings are reciprocated vary from picture to picture, though they seem to have a sort of young love blossoming (though 98 is prone to tormenting Homeo, as she is the dominant one in the budding relationship). This mutual crush isn't without protesters, however, such as Secchan, who not only doesn't want to see her sister in that kind of relationship, but also has a crush on Homeo. Her obsession with can openering dicks, however, doesn't do much to foster anything mutual.<br />
<br />
Homeo often helps his sister Homeko out with her Doujinshi activities as well, from posing for and helping inspire her comics, to inking the art and manning the booth at cons. Though he is uncomfortable with some of the work, he does it to help his sister, though whether or not this is really good for him is subject to speculation.<br />
<br />
As his sister is often busy making her comics, Homeo commonly does the shopping. Because of this, he often runs into the Nijiura Maids while he's out, with mixed results.<br />
<br />
[[Image:homeo.gif|left|Home-kun]]<br />
<br />
Homeo often hangs out with his brother ME-kun. What they do together varies from image to image (examples here, here, and here), but they typically have fun together, perhaps due to their similarities in age.<br />
<br />
Homeo is also commonly seen with his brother [[XP-kun | XP Pro-kun]], though in a different context than ME-kun, as it's less like the hardy boys and more like a typical older-younger brother arrangement, with Homeo typically playing the meek card in their interactions. XP Pro-kun, however, doesn't abuse this fact, and is usually very nice and semi-protective of Homeo. This might be because XP Pro-kun can relate to Homeo's struggles with Homeko; XP Pro-kun has his own issues with Saseko-tan.<br />
<br />
With the rest of his family, Homeo typically has a nice (if misunderstood) relationship. 2k-tan, for example, looks out for him somewhat when things get a bit chaotic. However, the errands that are typical to Homeo worry her to the point of insanity, and while she cannot confront either Homeo or Homeko about it, she does make a point to interfere (in the name of being a good sister, of course). Homeo usually can't or won't speak up when something is bothering him, meaning that he can be the victim of some of the rest of the family's pranks/deviancy. Overall, though, Homeo just tries to keep the peace while being helpful.<br />
<br />
Homeo's other friends include the [[Nijiura and Futaba Characters]] Shitsuji-kun, Yukiko-san, and occasionally her sister Kiri-san. Shitsuji is one of his closest friends and confidantes, as the two are in similar situations in terms of love and shyness. Their proximity to age helps with the friendship also, and as a result they are commonly seen hanging out together.[http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10820] Homeo has also made friends with Yukiko-san, who is under the impression that he is a girl. Homeo realizes that if he's found out, the consequences will be dire, but has yet to find a way out of it. It doesn't help that Yukiko is so keen on having a friend her age. Yukiko's overprotective older sister Kiri, meanwhile, is either also oblivious to Homeo's true gender or is purposely ignoring it to spare her sister's feelings (or to protect her from something "shocking"). Kiri doesn't get along well with Homeko, but seems to think Homeo is darling, just like her sister.<br />

98SE-tan is an [[OS-tan]] representing Windows 98 Second Edition.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The only entries in the OS-Tan Vault, a website debuting in late 2003 hosting artwork of the first OS-tans, for Windows 98 did not include 98SE-tan. The [[Troubled Windows]] opening serves as the earliest dated representation of her, and as such she can be reasonably concluded to have debuted around 2004.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Secchan is most commonly depicted as a silver or light blue-haired and blue-eyed middle school student in a bright green seifuku with a yellow necktie. She has a short ponytail tied on the left side of her hair by a hairtie with two circular red affixations.<br />
<br />
Like [[Windows 98|98-tan]], her early design was that of a Vulcan toy as part of a pair of stick-limbed snackboxes with a face and version number drawn in white crayon. The two are still commonly depicted with these snackboxes to this day, though in the form of power armor or a mechanical suit rather than as a placeholder.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
98SE-tan's most consistent trait across several Japanese works consists of an obsessive hatred of men and futanari' penises. She is often depicted carrying a sharp sui generis can-opener that is used almost exclusively to perform amateur penectomies upon men and futanari alike. While work on her design was still underway, she also was depicted as being shy, with her head often seen poking out of a Vulcan snackbox like her sister.<br />
