Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tan is Windows 97-tan, a lesser-known OS-tan representing Windows 97 which does not exist as an actual OS (or it was as the first test version for 98, Windows Memphis Developer Release). Often called Nana-chan, she’s depicted as a cheerful little girl with brown hair styled in buns with braids.

There is a gag in the era of Windows 7 of her covering up the Kanji on her forehead except for the '7', trying to pass herself off as Windows 7-tan in hopes of rising from obscurity and gaining more recognition.

Although she represents a version of Windows that never officially released, Windows 97-tan has her own storage facility on older OS-tan image vaults.

Her first appearance remains unknown, but she has been suggested as the personified version of Windows 7 in certain translations

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This is Saba-tan, the personification of Windows Server 2003! Saba-tan is part fish, part girl and wears an ethernet hub on her head like a bonnet. Her name is a pun on "server" (サーバー, saabaa) and "mackerel" (鯖, saba), which is why she’s depicted as a fishy character.

She started as a one-off character dressed in a mackerel costume but as OS-tans became popular, she got a more defined look and became a regular in OS-tan stories.

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of DOS Prompt, a lesser-known who represents MS-DOS! DOS Prompt is portrayed as a shy character often hiding behind things and carrying a keyboard.

DOS Prompt is believed to have first appeared in 2003. Unlike DOS Kitty, DOS Prompt was officially named by her creator, XP-Aki.

DOS Prompt is typically depicted as a schoolgirl with black or dark grey pigtails with hair ties shaped like the "DOS" prompt logo. She wears round glasses, a white button-down blouse with a light blue skirt and suspenders.

Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tan, or "OS-tan", is Claudia Madobe (クラウディア・窓辺), the official Japanese mascot for Microsoft Azure!

Claudia made her debut on May 23, 2011 in *Cloud Girl – Windows, Clouds and Blue Sky* (クラウド ガール -窓と雲と碧い空-), a webcomic released by Microsoft Japan to introduce and explain cloud technology. She was designed by Wakaba, the same artist behind Nanami Madobe. Though she is not an OS some people may group her with them anyway.

Claudia is an experienced Windows Azure developer with a master’s degree in engineering and over two years of practical development experience.

She excels in cloud computing and can sometimes come across as a little superior to beginners, but she’s always willing to teach and share her expertise. She often collaborates with her Madobe cousins, Nanami, Yū, and Ai in promotional events and campaigns as well as with her colleague, Ruri Azumi and is voiced by Eri Kitamura.

Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tans are two members of the Madobe family: Yū Madobe (窓辺ゆう) and Ai Madobe (窓辺あい), the Windows 8 and 8.1 mascots in Japan!

Yū and Ai debuted in Japan in 2012 as part of the Windows 8 Pro DSP Commemorative Packs created by Windows Navi+. These packs included exclusive system sounds and wallpapers

The sisters share a birthdate of November 18, 1996. Both are the same height at 152 cm, which is 8 cm shorter than Nanami, but their personalities set them apart.

Both sisters struggle with sports but excelled in tech. Their voices were provided by talented actresses Asuka Nishi (Yū) and Nao Tamura (Ai), who even sang together in promotional tracks like *Whatever the Future Holds*.

Brrr... new introduction time cause my old one is already outdated lol.

I am Sinclair-Speccy, your local resident computer nerd that can’t actually do a lot of tech stuff like people think. My primary interests are #Linux, #OldTech, and #OStan. You’ll usually find me boosting retro tech content and occasionally posting it myself, mostly retro tech ads.

My interest in emulation all started when I managed to run Yggdrasil Linux from the '90s (I know, so interesting /s). Despite having used XP as my first OS other older OSes (mostly Linux ones) interest me more if you look at the media I've posted on my account besides the tech ads.

I’ve moved around a bit online as I started on .art as my friend was there, then bitbang.social and now oldbytes.space.

One of my favourite niche fandoms is OS-tans which is turning operating systems and hardware into anime characters, though I tend to call them tech gijinkas. I even have my own tech gijinkas universe that is hosted on my site.

As for some other stuff I enjoy #mythology, #transformers, #cats, #touhou, #fantasy, #nature such as #flowers and #plants and #animals, #steampunk, #starwars, #photography, #art, #space, #cyberpunk and #scifi... there is more but I'm not writing them all.

You can check out my website here: https://sinclair-speccy.github.io and I hope to expand it into a tech journalism platform or something, though motivation and its static nature kind of stop me...

Unlike in the past I'm not active as I used to be, sadly.
