List of canon OS-tans

• Windows: Me-tan, 95, 98, 98SE, NT (look), 3.1, DOS, 2K, XP, Homeko, Server 2003
• Also: Linux-tan as a slot; OSC's OS X animal girls under Mac-tan
• Not frozen here: Vista, Seven-chan onward (FAN, documented), all CORP, OS TAN (OURS)

OSC also listed app-tans and OS-kuns as canon-adjacent. We point to App-tans and OS-kuns instead of inflating 'OS-tan canon.'
