She is similar in appearance to her, with pigtails, round glasses and a school uniform. Her hair is blue, her skirt bears the IBM colors, and she carries an IBM ThinkPad as opposed to MS-DOS-tan's keyboard. | ||
While she and MS-DOS-tan both still harbor an unconscious yearning to be reunited, time and distance have diverged their personalities, which is a parallel to how the PC-DOS and MS-DOS OSes diverged from one another after Microsoft's and IBM's break-up. PC-DOS-tan is now more mature, but ill-tempered and an extreme workaholic. Often she takes on more than she can handle at work. She also acts cool and brooding but it's all actually a facade since deep down inside she still longs for her twin sister, but when they do reunite -and the occasionally get the chance to-, both of their personalities temporarily revert to their former cheerful selves. | While she and MS-DOS-tan both still harbor an unconscious yearning to be reunited, time and distance have diverged their personalities, which is a parallel to how the PC-DOS and MS-DOS OSes diverged from one another after Microsoft's and IBM's break-up.

PC-DOS-tan in the present day is affiliated with the [[DOSSE]], a subset of the [[Binteeji Renmei]] where she is reunited with most of her relatives but still has a hard time, being so shell-shocked from the Microsoft-IBM Family break-up in 1990. With the help of her friend Pilot OS-tan who arranges the get-togethers, PC-DOS-tan and MS-DOS-tan are able to reunite from time to time. | PC-DOS-tan in the present day is affiliated with the [[DOSSE]], a subset of the [[Binteeji Renmei]] where she is reunited with most of her relatives but still has a hard time, being so shell-shocked from the Microsoft-IBM Family break-up in 1990.

Because of her association with OS/2-tan, she is forced to be involved in some of the [[Anti$oft Coalition]] meetings and the silly antics that ensue. Sometimes tricked into their plans, all of this much to her chagrin. | ||
