Whilst the Japanese love of cute characters is nothing new — with the police to popular foodstuff boasting a beaming beastie of some description or another — it still seems a little odd to see a similar creation connected to uncle Bill’s omnipresent operating system. Yet with the OS-tan brigade, that’s exactly what we get.
For example, here’s 2k-tan.
And this is ME-tan — the pair perfectly capturing the, erm, personality of their respective operating systems.
Sadly the current character set stops at XP, although judging by the video below, more prudish PC users would probably be proposing a promotion to XXXP.
The larger than life young lady perkily proclaiming something along the lines of, “Windows XP has booted up. You are up earlier than usual. I’m happy, we can spend more time together than usual.â€
Which, further translated from geek-speak to regular English, comes out as, “Look at my bulging and bouncy breasts. Great aren’t they?â€
Now all that remains is to see what levels of voluptuousness Vista may hold…

I’ve always liked 95 tan the most. Take the funny OS tan quiz at the japansugoi link.
