==Technical | ==Technical Details== | ||
Windows ME (Short for "Millennium Edition") was released as the home edition of Windows 2000 Professional; since Neptune, the planned home edition of 2000, was scrapped and absorbed into what became Windows XP. To tide over customers due to Neptune's cancellation, the DOS-based 9x line was continued for one more release with ME, but it ended up earning a bad reputation; due to it being less stable than it's predecessor, along with the the removal of real-mode MS-DOS access (Which made playing older DOS games more difficult). | Windows ME (Short for "Millennium Edition") was released as the home edition of Windows 2000 Professional; since Neptune, the planned home edition of 2000, was scrapped and absorbed into what became Windows XP.

===General | ===General Description=== | ||
'''Me-tan''' is the more cutesy personification of the much maligned and infamously unreliable Windows Me Operating System and was the first OS-tan created. She is usually known as Me-tan, but is often called Emui-san. She was created by the one now called ME-aki. | '''Me-tan''' is the more cutesy personification of the much maligned and infamously unreliable Windows Me Operating System and was the first OS-tan created.

In spite of, or perhaps due to, her pitiful plight, the clumsy ME-tan is one of the most beloved OS girls. | In spite of, or perhaps due to, her pitiful plight, the clumsy ME-tan is one of the most beloved OS girls. | ||
===Family life and Relationships=== | |||
Aside from the frustration she causes to her family because of her unreliability, she generally gets along with them, being the closest to 2K-tan, [[XP-tan]], [[95-tan]] and [[Inu-T]]. Being born around the same time as [[2K-tan]] and the XP-tans, she tends to see her stepsister NT-tan (who is the mother of 2K, XP, etc.) as a mother figure as well. | |||
She is generally civil towards the Mac-tans, and loves Mac OS9-kun, so she certainly doesn't want to get on their bad side. | |||
====[[ME-kun]]==== | |||
Her male counterpart, ME-kun is more reliable and sensible than his sister, being enrolled in some form of school or college, and often called upon to read help manuals by his brothers and sisters. He is also occasionally known to crack a perverted joke or two with his brothers, especially [[2K-kun]] and [[XP-kun]], mimicking the trio of ME-tan, 2k-tan, and XP-tan. ME-kun is also close with Homeo, but sometimes in a harassing context, not unlike 98-tan and SE-tan. | |||
ME-kun is quite protective of his sister ME-tan, possibly because he is more capable than she. | |||
===Alternate | ===Alternate Character Interpretations=== | ||
She is always depicted as some degree of clumsy and air-headed, varying from a genius ditz who can do something decently (like gaming), or nearly incapable of anything and constantly freezing. | She is always depicted as some degree of clumsy and air-headed, varying from a genius ditz who can do something decently (like gaming), or nearly incapable of anything and constantly freezing. | ||
