OSC!Windows 1.0-tan is depicted as a young woman in her late teens/early 20's of maternal disposition, not unlike Windows NT-tan.  She has bright green eyes, similarly colored short hair (a tacit foreshadowing of Windows ME), and wears a large grey hair clip behind her head in the shape of a giant 1.0.  She wears a simple one-piece orange dress and 1920's style dress shoes of a similar color to match. Owing to the original systems patchiness as an MSDOS-dependent platform, her clothing is often depicted in tatters and laden with patches.  1.0-tan herself will often be seen wearing semi-permanent bandages or slings.
==Technical Details==
The first release in the Windows operating system line, Windows 1.0 was a graphical shell that ran atop MS-DOS. It received lukewarm reviews, citing poor performance and lack of compatible software.


Due to her incomplete/experimental nature as an operating system, Windows 1.0-tan is characterized with a slow and stunted mental state, and can be considered the most innocent and childlike of all Windows OS-tans despite being the eldest.  Regardless, she is a sweet, humble and loving individual, and while she may appear oblivious to the wants and needs of others, she is in fact very perceptive to them and silently despairs when she is unable to help. She talks little and performs few if any complicated activities on her own, but takes reverent pride in performing any task assigned to her no matter how small.

===Physical===
Windows 1.0-tan is depicted as a young woman with light skin, bobbed lime green hair and bright green eyes with a pleasant, if blank expression, usually represented without pupils.

Her most prize possession is a picture frame containing photographs and clippings of her entire family, from [[Xenix|Xenix-tan]] and [[MS-DOS|MSDOS-tan]], to the current modern Windows OS-tans. However, although she knows her descendants by name, few if any modern Windows OS-tans are aware of her existence. Both Windows 1.0-tan and her daughter [[Windows 2.0|2.0-tan]] were exiled prior to the onset of the commercial OS Wars, with their association to the current family all but severed. Windows 2.0-tan is therefore the only family member with whom she has lived with for any extended period of time.
===Personality===
An incomplete prototype, Windows 1.0-tan is clumsy, slow to process information, and somewhat immature despite her age.

This article is for the Windows 1.0-tan developed by OS-tan Collections users and should not be mistaken for Oichi-san, the Windows 1.x-tan developed by Futaba Channel.

Technical Details

The first release in the Windows operating system line, Windows 1.0 was a graphical shell that ran atop MS-DOS. It received lukewarm reviews, citing poor performance and lack of compatible software.

Character Details

Physical

Windows 1.0-tan is depicted as a young woman with light skin, bobbed lime green hair and bright green eyes with a pleasant, if blank expression, usually represented without pupils. While she dressed differently in her youth,[2] in contemporary times she dresses in a sleeveless orange top, yellow skirt with patches, and orange buckled shoes. She also wears a necklace, a stylized "1.0" hair ornament at the back of her head, and a variety of bandages.[3]

Personality

An incomplete prototype, Windows 1.0-tan is clumsy, slow to process information, and somewhat immature despite her age. Still, she's warm and gentle, demonstrating a high degree of emotional intelligence.[4] She's resilient in the face of hardship, keeping up a good outlook on life despite her banishment.[5]

She isn't very talkative. She tends to stick to simple tasks, taking pride in her work no matter how small. She despairs when she's unable to help someone, but is usually good at reaching out to others when she's out of her depth in a situation.

Her most prized possession is a picture frame containing photographs of her entire family, including the modern Windows-tans she doesn't personally know.[6]

History and Background

Windows 1.0-tan was born in the mid-80s into the old MS-IBM family, attended to by the family caretaker Xenix-tan and her older siblings MS-DOS-tan & PC-DOS-tan. [7] The baby of the family,[8] 1.0-tan led a sheltered life of luxury and wanted for little.

In time she was joined by a younger step-sister, OS/2-tan and a daughter, 2.0-tan, both of whom she was particularly close to and affectionate with.

At the start of the 90s, relations soured between the two halves of the family, strained to its breaking point inadvertently by 3.1-tan, who became favored over OS/2-tan. In the subsequent breakup, 1.0-tan tried to keep herself from being separated from OS/2-tan, but the two were forced apart, 1.0-tan and 2.0-tan being banished altogether while the MS and IBM sides of the family retreated to their own separate factions.[9]

Windows 1.0-tan and her daughter began living as itinerant wanderers, a situation sharpened by the OS Wars and Unix Wars of the early 90s.[10]

The two eventually made acquaintance of Amiga-tan, Apple II-tan and others, forming the Binteeji Renmei as a sanctuary for vintage OS-tans in the process.[11]

Although 1.0-tan stays up to date on happenings within the Windows family, few if any modern Windows-tans are aware of her existence.

Notes

  • Princess Tutu is cited as an inspiration for her design per her main creator. [12]
