Vista-tan's Personality

According to Wikipedia, the term "sage" comes from the Japanese "sageru", which means "to lower"

QuoteAfter using Vista for a while. I think I have a good idea on its avatar's personaity. In a nutshell, she is like that hot girlfriend that was great for the first few times, but ends up being like the biggest clinger ever.

Vista-tan, is a bigger showoff than XP-tan no thanks to Aero. Vista's appetite for memory is even greater = slightly larger bust size than XP.

She does her tasks completely different from her previous sisters. This reflects the new kenrel and driver library. Vista-tan only accepts drivers that are properly signed. She tries far too please her users by making some dumbfounded UI choices. The clinging aspect of her personity comes from UAC. She constantly asks for every move that the user takes. Vista-tan has the keys for DRM in order to keep friendly with MPAA/RIAA, but doesn't actively use them. Vista-tan is far more friendly with multimedia related materials due to Windows Media Center.

Vista-tan doesn't get along with her venerable sisters (9x-tan and older). 2000-tan and XP-tan are very envious of Vista and is afraid of being replaced. Mac OS X-tans accuse Vista-tan of being a shallow, wannabe. Ironically, Vista-tan has the best Linux relationship out of the Windows family. Thanks to better Linux support.

I really like those ideas

(Although I still think she'd be out for XP-sama's blood >___>)

Plus, I'm sure there should be six Vistans (for Home, premium, ultimate, starter, etc.)

I really like Wombatslove's description of Vistan!

....

6 versions of Vista? But BBSpot said there were 33!

(Yeah I know there are 6 versions although the starter and enterprise versions are obscure, no I'm not a BBeliever)

I know I'm late for weeks but...

QuoteAlso, that reminds me a question I have had for a long time for all of you people who know moonspeak: would you be nice and tell us what's Nijiura's general opinion about Vis-tan (nijiura version, duh). And what about Vistake? what do they think. I know no Japanese [yet], but I have seen that some responses are saged in the OS board. Care to explain why? >_>

Futaba's 4 most notable design of Vis-tans;

Although obviously there are more than 4 designs that was posted on Futaba. Those 4 contains the Anubis, Ninja. Ganguro and the Spirit design. The ninja design was preferred as "Visbou" (for the first time, I really saw Visbou "kawaii" on that illustration ;073 ).

Visbou="bis" means "screw in japanese

Vistake= shiitake mushrooms. It is to believe that is how the ganguro's design was colored during its early times.

The Anubis design also became popular, but currently the notable alternative design of Vis-tan in Futaba today is the Spirit. The blonde girl with a halo.

The Vis-tan Spirit design was heavily based on the character "Shirona (ã,·ãƒãƒŠ)" from Pocket Monsters game: Diamond and Pearl.

++'s design of Vistan;

The two girls on a sailor fuku dress is considered to be either Vista Home premium or Home Basic. While those designs from those two corners in which they are known as the "Chivis-tan" designs are considered either the Ultimate Edition or (?)business(?). Chivis-tans and the vis-tan on a sailor fuku dress are considered the currently popularly drawn design on ++

++'s notable earliest design of Vis-tans:

^ That design was heavily based on Futaba's blonde longhorn design.

^Earliest among all ++ produced Vis-tan design.

Also since this topic's about Vis-tan's personality. The Vistake already have a given personality by Futaba. She gets irritated by either staring to her for long or there are some other Vis-tans that surrounds her, saying the words "The artist must die!".

Hmm..no offense but best Linux relationship? better Linux support? ;013

Once you got or did or followed steps of a Linux support. You've already dumped Vista as your OS. Since you are currently using Linux ;013 That means Linux-tans just pulled the bait! ;054

Tsubashi · September 23, 2007, 05:17:15 PM

Wow, Thank you Alfamille-san, I never knew which version was which before! This clears up a lot, Arigatou!

Quotehmm..no offence but best Linux relationship? better Linux support?

I agree. I'm not sure what you mean by 'better Linux support' but connecting via Samba to Vista is nothing but trouble from my experience.

Alfamille · September 24, 2007, 10:56:25 AM

Thanks Tsubashi-dono! ^_^

QuoteI agree. I'm not sure what you mean by 'better Linux support' but connecting via Samba to Vista is nothing but trouble from my experience.

In that part-Vista will serve as a puppet, not your primary anymore once you get support from another OS.

...it's like feeding Vista unto the lion's den. That's why I prefer virtualization, as several OS can be working together freely (if only I can do that on my G3 PPC

)

Anyhow, I would just like to update that someone submitted a "chivis-tan" design although it was preffered as "Home Premium"

I guess both designs ("chivis-tan" and the sailor fuku vistan) can be preffered on every edition of Windows Vista. Since I believe no one in ++, even Futaba will have an official design of Vistan.

...designs can be followed popularly I guess. ^^"

I think it is better to represent Vista-tan as the same avatar, but wears different attires according to what version. You could also make them sextuplets whatever floats your boat.

Home Basic and Starter have the basic attire which looks similar to XP Professional. They aren't really that different from XP Professional aside from lacking remote desktops and multi-chip support. She lacks transparent segments in her attire to reflect the lack of Aero.

Home Premium's attire looks more like Windows XP Home Theater (Because it has Media Center) but with a magic-girl twist and transparent segments which reflects Aero support.

Business and Enterprise are really one in the same. Enterprise is just OEM version of Business that does WPA a bit differently. Anyway, the attire of this version mimics 2000-tan, but it is more edgy to reflect Vista being on the bleeding edge and has some transparent segments.

The Ninjusta version of Vista-tan perfectly represents what Ultimate Edition's attire would look like.

From personal experience with Vista, I find that home and business basic tend to slow down some computers even though they should be able to run it fine due to the sound emulation. Standard and Ultimate can be more of a memory hog due to the areo interface, and the minimum requirements are way out of some computer's leauges. Also, the protection system is kind of annoying (eg. Do you want to access the internet?)

So I put this together:

Vis-tan, like her little sister XP-tan, usually carries around a bowl of rice and occaisonally eats from it, or its empty. She is very stubborn and eased when around her older sisters. but when alone or with others like her she becomes fast and logical and tends to show off a bit, especially when she wears her almost-transparent clothes. she is quite fond of geometric things and likes to collect shiny or clear items and DVDs. She often is seen with a large samurai warrior who tends to ask her if she wants to do something that he does not approve of.

Well this is my view on Vista
She's more flashy than all of her sister, and is not afraid to show it off. She also seems to have a bigger appetite for memory, but has the ability to flush it out at the moment's notice (prefetching). She also can find things more quickly than her sisters can (intergrated disk indexing). She also keeps her master's secret jealously (disk encryption). She can go low profile if she needs to (turning aero off automatically if app needs more resources). Friendly with the music industry because of DRM but never implement them. While she's naggy (UAC), she learns to shut up if you ask her (turn the thing off).

infinity_zero · November 03, 2007, 07:41:01 PM

I love Vista-tan. >////<

C-Chan · November 05, 2007, 01:05:06 AM

Oooh,.. haven't seen some of Infinity-san's minis in a while -- far from their home thread, but still looking great as always! ^v^

Probably safe to assume by now that the ++ Vistan design is our collective favorite. ^___^

Siya · November 06, 2007, 06:34:15 PM

While this might be completely out of character for Vista, a group of friends and I were talking about it and the discussion slowly degraded into a series of Chuck Norris-esque jokes.

"Windows Vista has a day job at Auschwitz."

"Hannibal Lecter was a Sunday school teacher until he met Windows Vista."

"Windows Vista shot Bambi's mom and JFK in the same day."

OK, so they imply evil rather than....whatever Chuck Norris jokes are supposed to imply. But, as with Chuck Norris jokes (and Helen Keller jokes and Anne Frank jokes), they're so ridiculous they're fun.

Speaking of uncyclopedia, have you ever looked up the OS-tans on that site? Aparently:

Quote from: "Uncyclopedia"The OS-Tans are a team of combat androids who work as mercenaries in Asia and the Western United States.

But what really got me was the link at the bottom proclaiming:
"Rumored to be the home of the OS-Tans"
Guess where it linked to? Here! LOL ^.^

Added after 2 minutes:

Oh, and looking through the edit history apparently NewYinzer-san wrote a lot of it

Chocofreak13 · September 26, 2008, 04:27:05 PM

vista is slow (i have vista on my computer, so yes, i will bash a little) so should that play into the character? take me-tan: she experiences crashes and freeze-ups just like the rl ME program did.
that also raises the question, how is 95-tan so stable? didn't the rl 95 have alot of bugs?
