Slashdot Mirror

There are official MS OS Anime personifications, and there have been for quite some time.

I see that although you are not new to the net, you are new to this topic, so I'll link you to one list of the OS-tans. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding the other less NSFW places yourself to see more and better quality pics/fics, if you are so inclined...

There is indeed slash fiction. I read one not too long ago about XP-tan having an affair with Windows7-tan, Vista-tan was quite upset (her abandonment issues surfacing yet again); The always compassionate Linux-tan tried to console her, but it made the needy OSX Leopard-tan very jealous (apparently consoling a rival is a grave transgression on her home planet).

There are OS-kuns (males) as well... My girlfriend told me of the new yaoi slash she was reading where OSX-Kun fell in love with the heroic and savage XP-kun who had rescued him from the lair of the evil scientist Dr. Mac-Defender. In the heat of their passion OSX-kun had unknowingly infected XP-kun with a virus; Thus, both OS-kuns were soon on their way to see the comically bungling Dr. Norton-kun.

Fear not my friends, Rule 34 can not be denied.

I read the English RtL versions of the first two Ubunchu comics. The last page of the second comic has one character showing off a "CLI-tan" she drew. Oh, wow.

There is this Japanese thing of making cute anime-style characters based on operating systems; such a character is called an OS-tan. The "-tan" part is a playful tweak on Japanese honorifics; it a small child's mispronunciation of "-chan", which is a very informal diminutive (the Japanese equivalent of "Johnnie" would be "John-chan"). An OS-tan is an example of Moe anthropomorphism.

Here is a site devoted to OS-tans, including variants such as the Linux distro-tans.

There are two Ubuntu-tans listed: first second

The CLI-tan is a moe-ified picture of Akane from the comic, with gloves that leave her fingers free to type, and with her fingers extended in an action pose. I think if I could get a full-size poster of that character, I'd put it up on the wall of my office.
