Encapsulate the futa description in an area that should hopefully provide context to how problematic it is. Also some adjustments to modernize the page a bit.

This character represents the first edition of [[wikipedia:Windows 98| Windows 98]]. She is represented as a shy and small pre-teen girl with short navy blue hair with a clip shaped like 98, the Windows logo as part of a necktie and a schoolgirl outfit with a sleeveless white blouse, blue skirt, dark-colored shoes, long socks and gloves. | This character represents the first edition of [[wikipedia:Windows 98| Windows 98]].

Two early designs that continue to be used alongside the 98 an 98SE-tans are a pair of stick-limbed snack-boxes with a face and version number drawn in crayon, based on the Vulcan 300 toy that appeared in the anime series Konjiki no Gash Bell!!/Zatch Bell!. | Two early designs that continue to be used alongside the 98 an 98SE-tans are a pair of stick-limbed snack-boxes with a face and version number drawn in crayon, based on the Vulcan 300 toy that appeared in the anime series Konjiki no Gash Bell!!/Zatch Bell!. | ||

Both girls now make regular use of these as mechanical suits. The mech-box used by 98 is blue in colour, and likewise the 98SE mech-box has a green theme. The mechs are sometimes shown as guardians or friends to the 98-tans, otherwise the two girls can be seated inside them as pilots. The box sizes can vary, ranging from doll-like when carried by the girls to taller than an adult when they ride inside them. While usually used as toys or weapons, they can serve other purposes, such as a clubhouse, a shelter, or a place to hide. (The boxes also appear to be less stable than the girls themselves; When a non-DOS based OS-tan enters the box, it has a tendency to fall apart.) | Both girls now make regular use of these as mechanical suits.

==Problematic Depictions== | |||
Some depictions of 98-tan show her to be a futanari (hermaphrodite). This is problematic as the character is depicted as underage, and sexual depictions or discussion about the genitals of minors is bad. Some non-pornographic OS-tan comics have even used this trope by questioning characters, such as [[Homeo]]'s, sexuality for having feelings for 98-tan. | |||
These depictions are all considered problematic and outdated ways of thinking or finding humor. | |||

In the [[OSR2.5tan 4Koma| comic that created 95 OSR 2.5-tan]], 98-tan could be considered the main character. [[95 OSR 2.5-tan]] sees her as a rival, but the rivalry isn't mutual, and 98-tan sees her as a well-meaning friend. | In the [[OSR2.5tan 4Koma| comic that created 95 OSR 2.5-tan]], 98-tan could be considered the main character.
