Overview

The Windows Order is a prominent OS-tan faction. Originally known as DOS Elite, The Windows Order held a position of great influence and wealth, ranking among the top three most influential factions in The Mainframe. However, their supremacy gradually declined due to their inability to enter the smartphone and tablet markets during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

One significant turning point for The Windows Order came with the emergence of the Windows 10-tans, spearheaded by Threshold-tan. With her arrival in 2015, she unintentionally drove away the Windows-tans whose support had dwindled over time. This event marked a shift within the faction.

The Windows Order is divided into two lineages: 9x and NT. The 9x lineage is based on the original Windows 9x operating system, while the NT lineage is based on the Windows NT operating system. The two lineages have different cultures and traditions.

Notes

  • Although Microsoft was founded in 1975, it did not release Windows during that time. Instead, it focused on developing products such as Altair BASIC and XENIX. Altair-tan, who also represents Altair BASIC, can be seen as a past member but did not belong to any faction at that time (except for the Retrograde Conglomerate, which existed in the future). Similarly, XENIX can be considered a past member as it was Microsoft's version of UNIX that gained popularity. XENIX is associated with both the UNIX faction and the combination faction, which incorporated The Blue Gene Collective and DOS Elite.
