OS-Tans were originally created by fans and users of computers and the idea has spread across the internet so that now there are characters for not just operating systems but also some of the programs within them.
From Firefox to Opera, Chrome and Windows 7, Ubuntu and Norton products, there's a character for most programs.
Ruth Keattch, a Manga and Anime artist based in the UK, points out: "The programs and operating systems are usually depicted as sisters and there are comic book stories online where you can follow their adventures. The Tan suffix makes a name cuter, it's like a term of affection. It's very Japanese."
The way the cartoons are drawn are supposed to reflect how users feel about each system.再びアメリカのメディアは引き分けに遅いです。我々はまだ進行中の多くは、アニメの受け入れの動きを確認する必要があります。
"Windows XP-Tan has a huge bust and is a bit slow. She was depicted as an operating system that was considered to be bloated and resource intensive," says Codie Morgan. "The Chrome-Tan wears skates which is supposed to reflect speed."
