MALINO from Deja Vu ArtWorks produced the Me Document and Shared Folder! trilogy, which were sold in digital format. Parthenon Production Limited, company had commercialized Pink Company's OS-tan products. ME-tan, 2K-tan, XP-tan were designed by GUHICO of Stranger Workshop, while 95-tan was designed by Fujisaki Shiro from H.B.Company. It also includes 95-tan, ME-tan, XP-tan figures, titled OS Girl 95, OS Girl me, OS Girl XP respectively, but include a molded space for 2k-tan (named OS Girl 2K). It includes illustrations by over 25 contributors. Ohzora Publishing produced one book based on OS-tan characters, titled Trouble Windows OS-tan FanBook ( とらぶる・うぃんどうず OSたんファンブック). The OS-tan is not an original concept and was pre-dated by Toy's iMac Girl, who was featured on a series of desktops released between August 1998 and March 1999. A fansub of this was eventually created and is partly responsible for the spread of the OS-tan to English language imageboards. One of the early works to predominantly feature the OS-tan was an interactive Flash animation showing a possible intro to an imaginary anime show known as Trouble Windows. Discussions on Futaba Channel likened this to the stereotype of a fickle, troublesome girl and as this personification expanded Me-tan was created and followed by the other characters.
The concept of the OS-tan is reported to have begun as a personification of the common perception of Windows Me (Released in 2000 by Microsoft as the 9x counterpart to Windows 2000) as unstable and prone to frequent crashes.
