==Technical details==
==Technical details==
PC DOS was released in 1981 during the era of IBM + Microsoft cooperation. It was essentially a renamed MS DOS but both were marketed seperately- PC DOS was marketed for the IBM PC while Microsoft marketed MS DOS to the open market. PC DOS diverged from MS DOS after the breakup between Microsoft and IBM.
PC-DOS was released in 1981 during the era of IBM + Microsoft cooperation. It started as a re-branded MS-DOS, marketed for the IBM PC while Microsoft marketed MS-DOS to the open market. PC-DOS diverged from MS-DOS after the breakup between Microsoft and IBM.

==Character details==
PC-DOS-tan is MS-DOS-tan's (non-canon) twin sister as they were both released during the era of IBM + Microsoft cooperation, and that PC-DOS was essentially a renamed MS-DOS. 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.
PC-DOS-tan is MS-DOS-tan's (non-canon) twin sister, as both OSes were developed and released together during the era of IBM + Microsoft cooperation. 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.

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.

She works as a temp for OS/2-tan's struggling business and hates every bit of it, but that work gives what she feels to be a purpose in life. 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 and is sometimes tricked into their plans, all of this much to her chagrin.
