Introduction to OS-tans

[Bella]

Just wondering how everyone here found out about the OS-tans...

I found out about them while researching OS advocacy and zealotry on wikipedia. I stumbled across the page, and the second I saw them...I knew I found something great

I found them through wikipedia.

After a long search through google image search, after finding an XP-tan wallpaper at some forum. Had to try several key words until finding the same wallpaper @ minitokyo. Then I learnt about the term "OS-tans", which lead me to Wakachan, Otakubell, and other OS-tan related sites.

I just happened to stumble upon a little article on wikipedia about OS anime characters.

First i got a Wallpaper from my friend where i could see Xp-Tan and i wondered who she was. Because i never saw her before in any mangas nor in animes. (my friend didn't know her either)

Then i started to search for her (Xp-Tan) it was hard to find anything because i didn't know that she was called "Xp-tan" i didn't know the name "troubled Windows" too -.-
so i search a whole week for her until i found the openning song from "otakubell"

and from there i found the name of xp-tan and the title where she coes from^^

and per google picture search i found this forum^^ hehehe
and joined  them  ;010

Was browsing /f/ on 4chan about three years ago, and someone posted the Troubled Windows flash.  Fell in love with them right there.

I searched in Wikipedia for "Tux" and found a link to OS-tan...

I found Firefox-sama some year ago, then on this new year's eve i was doing some neboke surfing, and after some random photobucket rampage, i stumbled across this place, and lurked for a month and a half. The rest is well documented ^_^

It was actually this site which introduced me to the OS-tans, though I didn't join initially. I instead perused the gallery and C-Chan's old art threads, plus a couple of others, until I thought I had read enough as to not insult someone. Unfortunately, I was quite wrong. ^^'

How I got to this site?... well I don't rightly remember. Probably google, or maybe Wikipedia? ^^;

*whacks Tsubashi w/ paper fan*

Even as a vampire you still self-depracate.... -v-

Probably long and buried by now, but I too was lured into OS-tans by Wikipe-tan.  -.-

vampire = goth = emo?


Anyhow, about 3-4 years ago, I saw the troubled windows flash, did a little research and loaded an archive of pictures.. it wasnt untill much later i discovered this dying shell of a forum... that of course as since changed (ahh the days when there may not be a fresh post for weeks at a time...)

[NejinOniwa]

Dreaming of moddin' that kinda forum, eh cappy? ^_^ Then again, I bet it's not half as fun as this, neee~?

Found the wiki article

[XWilson2007]

I was actually looking for different pics of manga and anime girls through Google Image Search, and somehow fell upon a pic with the girls in it. Needless to say, I decided to research it more, and found the Wikipedia links and various other links, including the one to here.
