| | #REDIRECT [[Win9x]] |
| MS-DOS (from the x86 DOS lineage) technically starts this lineage, as Windows was simply a graphical shell for it at first. By the time of Windows 95, Windows was a full-fledged OS but still had DOS underpinnings and relied on DOS as a bootloader, and the lineage ended in 2000 with the debut of the last 9x, ME.

| ==In-story==
| |
| [[MSDOS|MS-DOS-tan]] and [[PCDOS|PC-DOS-tan]] were cloned from [[QDOS|QDOS-tan]], and identified as being from the x86 DOS (then CP/M) bloodline, but were named as the start of a new lineage, along with their sister [[Windows 1.0|Windows 1.0-tan]] in 1985. Their upbringing, culture, and the ties that MS-DOS and PC-DOS had to the early Windows-tans marked them apart considerably from the rest of the DOSes. | |
| | |
| Originally, MS-DOS and PC-DOS saw the other DOSes as competition and didn't think much of them until many years later.
| |
| | |
| The Win 9x moniker for the DOS-based Windows-tans comes from the prominence of [[Windows 95|95-tan]]; her predecessors mostly lived in obscurity, 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan aren't even acknowledged within the [[Windows Family]].
| |
| | |
| ===Traits and abilities===
| |
| The 9x's have widely varying hair colors and eye colors, but all of them are fairly petite (the tallest of them being 95 or 95 OSR 2.1). Their abilities have a lot of variation, such as 95's sword-wielding, 98 and 98 SE's mech piloting and ME's scallion-wielding, but all of them have the ability to harness the DOS command line and programs.
| |
| | |
| ===Affiliations===
| |
| All of the DOS/Win9x-based Windows-tans were born into the Windows Family or its predecessor (except for Windows 3.2-tan and 97-tan), but not all live there anymore, as some of them were exiled (1.0, 2.0), or defected (95 OSR 2.1, 2.5).
| |
| *1.0 and 2.0 are in the [[Binteeji Renmei]].
| |
| *The defectors are in the [[Wanderer Class]].
| |
| | |
| The [[WinNT|NT branch]] and part of the 9x branch (composing of the canon Windows-tans plus MS-DOS) are united in the current-day Windows Family. They don't know the two branches aren't blood-related, let alone the DEC/VMS heritage of NT, as a lot of secrets have been kept from the younger generation Windows-tans, but happily treat each other as sisters nonetheless and are a close-knit family.
