Your favorite OS-tan

[Aurora Borealis]

Eheheheh... I'm partly to blame for there being lots of Mac-tans! ^_^;

[NejinOniwa]

Personally i think the mac-tans are all too pale...but that's probably because there's way less people caring about them.

Anyways, my personal favorite...I can't decide on one, but the top is Inu-T, 2k-chan and 95-sama. Inu-T, cause she's a...dog...and irresistibly kawaii; 2k-chan because, well, meganekko, need i say more?; and 95-sama...one word. MOOD SWINGS. She totally rocks...also she's got a kimono, which is teh good.

[Lovee]

bloody macs are breeding -_- I would have thought the porn would keep them away from other real people.. or maybe Im thinking of AOL users..

Ph34r the Mac Resurrection!  

well yeah i can't recognize all of them but anyway i saw cheetah^ ^

Okay, we're good then.  ^__^
See where Cheetah-sama is.  -v-

The blue-haired girl to the right that looks like Chii from Chobits is called C-One-tan.
The red-haired cat-eared girl to the left is her younger sister Mac OSX 10.2 Jaguar-tan.  ^__^
And the beautiful blonde cat-eared girl to the left of her would be Tiger-sama!!  ^v^

They're all from some quick renditions I made for the Wiki avatars.  ^v^

All the other characters I can explain upon request.  ^.^

Oh, and if you want to see more wiki avatars:

Well, come to think of it, I agree NejinOniwa.. at least if I understood him correctly (pale? as in.. like shallow?)  Their designs are cute I guess... but honestly just making a cat girl with the patern the system is named after.. dosnt seem to original or inovative. again you all know I hate boring tans that arnt that well thought out.  I like Sonata, the cute artist girl that throws bombs when she gets really angery.. but these cat ones.. i havent heard anything about them that makes me think there is any depth to their character.  Like NejinOniwa said about the windows tans.. they all have something unique visualy and personality wise to make them lovable.  and there isnt a set system to it.. otherwise vista would have been top heavy, ate ungodly abounts of food and would wear nothing but tape over her nipples cus the system eats more and pays more to visual look then anything else from what ive seen, but instead.. shes a fucking ninja.  or a sailor scout.. or... well you get the idea. they make each unique and for that they are more interesting.  and this is coming from a rabid supporter of cat girls.

You're right, I agree that the OS X cat girls are rather under developed. My reasoning is:

a) While each of the actual OS's has differed quite a bit, graphically, they are mostly the same

b) Apple deployed six versions of OS X (counting Intel vs. PPC) in six years, whereas Microsoft released one. This gives the artists less time to explore possible variations and give depth

c)Less people draw Mac-tans = Less variations = Less Ideas

Still I really like Leopard-tan!

[C-Chan]

Reasoning C pretty much sums it all in a nutshell.  -v-

Sonata-san and Generic-san were both pretty bland for me as well at first,... up until I encountered the legendary Mac Manga.  After reading through 68 pages of finely-crafted insanity and perversion, suddenly I have characters who's seedy antics far surpass those of anything Homeo and Friends could dish out.  -v-

As for the OSX girls, we'll see....

Aurora and I will work hard to create some more propaganda material.  -v-

[CaptBrenden]

Variations is the big complaint people have about tans these days!! Like the consel tans, cant find a consistant design!

Problem with that C-Chan is that.. one manga should not define a character in this fandom.  The PC oses have personalitys that every artist (well jsut abotu every) understands and captures in their drawings.  their personality comes from the countless individuals drawing them and supporting them.  

You can try, but I doubt that one person can creat enough propoganda to turn the tide. You will need a much better meathod to attract people to their character if you hope to supass the PC OSes.. that and your going to have to change the fact that the MS oses are more used in the world so more people can appriciate the quirks in thier characters.

[C-Chan]

Hmmm,..........

*ponders*

.....

*stares at Tsubashi-san*

....

You know, the Captain just gave me an idea....  -v-

*scampers off, scheming some grandiose propaganda measure*

[Tsubashi]

*Shrinks beneath C-Chans stare*
I'm a little scared. What's going on Senpai?

[C-Chan]

Fufufu.... nothing, my good Tsubashi-san.  Just sit tight and await further instructions....  -v-

[Tsubashi]

*quivers*
Hai, Senpai...

[C-Chan]

BTW, do you have any favorite Mac girl?  ^__^

[Tsubashi]

Ummmo... I like them all!
But, if I had to play favorites, I'd pick Sonata-tan, or Leopard-tan. ^^

[C-Chan]

Okay, I'll do Sonata-san first.  ^__^
Aside from being the most popular, I have more angles available for her.

Leopard-chan would require extra imagination.  -v-

[Tsubashi]

Okay, sounds cool.
um... can I help?
