Windows XP may be off the streets, but she’s still in our hearts. She’s certainly still on my desktop.

In honor of the best version of Windows yet, check out this gallery of wallpapers featuring Windows XP’s anime girl fan mascot, XP-tan. Celebrate her last day at Microsoft by laying her on your desktop tonight.

Ballmer can keep his damaged goods. I’m staying true to my woman. :)

Oddly enough, Mozilla delaying delivery of Firefox 3 only seems to make us want it more. It’s as if Mozilla’s tantalizing us with this sleek foxy lady — inviting five million people to brutally gangbang her on her first night, but then making us wait our turn.

While you wait for your turn with her, enjoy these pictures of the anime-style Japanese fan mascot Firefox-tan.

She’s definitely more delicious now — we’ve tasted her in beta. Like you, I can barely wait to sink my teeth into the full version.

Firefox Anime Girl

With Windows 7 supporting multitouch, you have to wonder what its OS-tan will look like. OS-tans — Japanese fan mascots for various operating systems — take the form of cute anime girls with characteristics representative of their respective OSes. 2000-tan is businesslike, XP-tan is bouncy, etc.

If Windows 7 features multitouch, will its OS-tan be a girl you can touch all over? Will she be a grabby nymhpo, an archetype quite common in anime? Will she be a touchy temptress, slowly caressing herself while seductively splayed upon a Microsoft Surface? Discuss.

Windows 7 Multitouch Girl?

Her latest implants have been delayed and Ballmer’s trying to kill her, but she’s still more popular than her spoiled and flaky younger sister. I don’t care how much hype a girl’s got or how much bling she flashes; I’d rather she be rock-solid reliable. Long live XP-tan!
