Win XP Media edition

I think I've found XP Media Centre Edition

http://kazumi386.org/~ostan2/pic_uploader/etc/hokan.htm?

If you go there and view the pages you can see a tan that has a large play/start button on her tie, the same style as in MCE, and is sometimes holding the MCE remote.

Eg:

There is an XPME-tan that's around (has her own folder now at the gallery), but I always DID wonder who that cat-eared -tan is. Could be an alternative version of XPMCE-tan,... could also be a [cuter] version of Windows Media Player-tan herself. ^__^

Either way, it's well worth the necropost to investigate this mystery once and for all. ^v^

BTW, welcome ZShadow. ^__^

I take it you like lurking in the shadows, eh? ^_~

I like this version better because the colours make it different, plus XPME looks too much like homeko imho :3

Quote from: "ZShadow"I like this version better because the colours make it different, plus XPME looks too much like homeko imho :3

Or a mix of Homeko + ME-tan :S But this one is better, even though I remembered her as Windows Media Player-tan...

Should I upload the pics to the gallery then ?:3

wait so...Windows Media Center isn't the same thing as Windows XP Media???

Tupolev Wolf · January 19, 2007, 05:19:10 PM

well i got Windows XP Media Center, and it's very different than normal Windows XP.

C-Chan · January 19, 2007, 10:41:15 PM

Hehe,... well not THAT different, but yeah the default interface is more glitzy, it seems NOT to like networks very much, AND it has higher hardware requirements (more RAM). ^__^

I also looked at the "Media Center" itself, which is kind of a glorified version of Windows Media Player (except with MORE bloat, if you can imagine that... ^^;) that comes with XPME.

I do think that -tan looks cuter than the ME-tan + Homeko + Lindows crossover, but I'm still suspicious that she might be a media player. -v-'

I've seen a version of XP Media Center Edition-tan that has short brown hair, wears a green schoolgirl outfit and has a guitar case that doubles as a jetpack and I like that version best because she doesn't look trampy like the more common XP+ME crossover (although I like the visual puns to her design)

C-Chan · January 19, 2007, 11:14:33 PM

Yep, the trampiness is kinda my gripe too. But I don't mind it, cause,... hell, it's not like it hurts me to paint Windows in a bad light. -v-'

*hears XPME computer complaining*

[to XPME computer] Oh, shut yer pie hole, you non-torrent seeding storage space, DVD burner and part-time game machine. `v'

I'm pretty sure its not a media player, because one has a start button on the tie (WMP has no start button), 2 have "MCE" on their top, and 2 are holding the remote which comes with MCE

C-Chan · January 20, 2007, 12:25:34 AM

The play buttons do out number the start ones, but I will agree that "MCE" is a dead giveaway. ^__^

(the remote not so much cause my XPME didn't come with one.... Ã,Â¬__Ã,Â¬)

*kicks XPME machine, and hugs Xubuntu machine lovingly*

Okay, I'm sold. ^__^
There's an 85% chance she's a competing design for Windows XPME-tan. ^__^

When the time comes, this'll make for an excellent debate on the new OS-tan Wiki. ^__^

(oh, and yeah,... feel free to upload now that there is definitive proof of her identity. ^v^)
