The fact that OS/2-tan is a huge fan of Star Trek, wears a Starfleet uniform and wields a phaser gun are references to OS/2 having Star Trek-themed names and that during the opening ceremony for OS/2 Warp's release, IBM hired main actors from Star Trek to demonstrate it. | The fact that OS/2-tan is a huge fan of Star Trek, wears a Starfleet uniform and wields a phaser gun are references to OS/2 having Star Trek-themed names and that during the opening ceremony for OS/2 Warp's release, IBM hired main actors from Star Trek to demonstrate it. | ||
She is the (non-canon) stepsister to the DOS-based Windows-tans, is NT-tan's sister (because some OS/2 and features made its way into Windows NT, though NT is more heavily based off Digital Equipment Corporation's VMS) and is the aunt to NT-tan's children.

OS/2-tan in the present day has a bitter, volatile, and borderline psychopathic disposition from all the betrayal she weathered over the decades. She is however loyal to the friends she does have and is a natural-born leader. | OS/2-tan in the present day has a bitter, volatile, and borderline psychopathic disposition from all the betrayal she weathered over the decades.

==OSC Notes/backstory== | |||
OS/2-tan was born to the [[Microsoft-IBM Family]] during when the two companies were cooperating. It was a cloistered but happy childhood as she had everything she needed, but saw or dealt with few other OS-tans in the market outside of her immediate family. | |||
She was trained from the start to be the operating system of the future -- although she was a nice girl, she would at times come off as a little overconfident and arrogant. When [[Windows 2.0 | Windows 2.0-tan]] was born, OS/2-tan took pity on what she thought would be the last Windows ever created, and looked after her like an overprotective step sister. Soon both would become genuinely friendly though. Her happy childhood started to fall apart with the event of Windows 3.1's (then Windows 3.0-tan) birth. Windows 3.1-tan's success and rumors with other entities to create NT-tan were what led to the Microsoft-IBM Family breaking up. | |||
After the family breakup, she was trained by IBM to be a mean and efficient fighter. While their methods were effective, they were also mercilessly spartan and she was left cloistered even while the Windows-tans were quickly expanding their horizons. She took the loss of her family hard, but was still firmly loyal to her company. Plus it was her hope that in defeating the Windows line, the victor could decide the rules, hence, she originally intended to fight in order to get her family back. It was during the OS Wars of the mid 90's that she finally got a chance to face off against the Windows champion 95-tan -- the battle that ensued was long and hard, and although OS/2-tan almost succeeded, her company sabotaged her effort (which may or may not have been intentional), handing the victory to 95-tan. | |||
This loss, plus IBM's growing indifference to her, her lonely life and watching the world fall in love with the Windows-tans drove her insane and vengeful. Since she was still too loyal to take out her frustrations on IBM, she focused all of it on the Windows-tans. She founded and leads the [[Antisoft Coalition | Anti$oft Coalition]] with the hope of vanquishing the Windows Family. | |||
Even though OS/2's last bit of company support was discontinued Dec 31 2006 and that OS/2 will not become Open Source despite petitions by many loyal users, OS/2-tan has not given up her ambitions and will continue them into the foreseeable future. | |||
