OS-Tans - Liete - 10-30-2006 For those who don't know what OS-Tan is, its an anime personification of various operating systems as people (mostly girls) that has been quite popular in Japan on the Futaba Channel as sort of a funny mini series the past couple of years. Operating systems are personified by how they preform, for instance ME is a clumsy idiot girl always causing problems, doing stupid stuff like putting a can of soda in the microwave, or losing her temper with a ! on her chest, 95 always wears a komono, XP has a large chest and so on. Background, left (clockwise): Windows 98SE (in box), Windows 95, Symantec Antivirus (male), Windows 2000 (in front), Windows Server 2003 (fish outfit, with cat), Windows 98 (unusual form), Windows XP (holding skirt). Background, right: Windows 3.1, DOS (not their "official" os-tans). Foreground: Windows CE (fairy), Windows ME (levitated by CE). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_OS-tans List of ALL OS Tans with detailed descriptions of each.

I'll have to check some vids later. So this is actually a tv show over there? OS-Tans - Psygnius - 11-02-2006 No, it was only a fan-made intro. I think there would be some legal issues involved with Microsoft if this was actually made into a TV show without the approval of the company.
