Character Details
General
There are two mainstream personifications of Windows NT. The first NT-tan is depicted as a young woman (though her age range varies from child to adult depending on the artist) with purple hair (ranging from lilac to very dark) and blue eyes. She mainly represents NT 3.x, and is the mother of 2K-tan, Inu-T and the other NT releases. When an NT-tan is being referred to, it's usually this design; the other accepted NT design is now almost always known as "Inu-T".
Although usually seen as loving, sweet and motherly, a few artists' depictions show NT-tan as a bold, and sometimes crazed warrior, shown with a bladed weapon. One such depiction shows her alongside a similarly-armed Windows 95-tan.
Family and relationships
VMS
VMS-tan is NT-tan's biological mother, whom NT-tan is a modified clone of, but is unaware of their relationship; it was never told to her when she was first introduced to the Windows Family. NT-tan fought against her for control over the server market as her first mission, and won.
OS/2
OS/2-tan is NT's half-sister, although OS/2 and VMS aren't related, NT-tan was partly created from OS/2-tan's genes. Since OS/2-tan violently hates the Windows-tans, it's assumed that they have fought on several occasions in the 90's.
Other designs
"Inu-T"
See InuT-tan.
The second accepted one is known as "Inu-T", a young, blue haired dog-girl who wears a blue dress, and socks and gloves shaped like paws. Whether she was originally meant as an alternative design to the previously mentioned NT-tan is unknown, but now Inu-T is commonly recognized as representing Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (a later NT-based operating system preceding Windows 2000).
Deja Vu's design
Yet another NT-tan, Windows NT SP6, was designed by the dōjinshi group Deja vu, but it was considered a bootleg design by Futaba society and not an official OS-Tan. Her design has not been used since then.
