The OS-tans are an Internet phenomenon that started on Futaba Channel. The OS-tan or simply OS Girls are the personification of several operating systems by various amateur Japanese artists.

Here are some examples:
Windows Vista (Vista-tan):
Mac OS X Leopard (Leopard-tan):
Linux (Linux-tan):

goddamn penguin? I hate penguins. Unless you live in the
arctic, you can't even own one as a pet. I much prefer the -tan's
windows has somehow aquired. But the penguin hat - kinda
ruins it for me.
