Technical Operating System: Difference between revisions

The '''Technical Operating System''' is a parody of real-life's Microsoft Disk Operating System (MSDOS). The latest version of '''TOS''' mentioned in-game is '''TOS 3.0'''. It may also be "'''Windchime''';" both OS's released in 1998. Users of the '''TOS''' are usually refered to as "'''TOSsers'''," which is slang for a person who masturbates. On the GTAIV internet, TOS is refered to as "To$$", which is a reference to real-life's "Micro$oft" spelling on computing websites and message boards. This spelling also suggests they are very focused on making money, like Microsoft. Even though TOS is mentioned frequently on GTAIV internet, it doesn't have its own website like [[Eunux.net|Eunux]] or [[Fruit Computers|Fruit]] does. '''TOS'''' competition is [[Fruit Computers]]. TOSsers are depicted in the GTA series as "boring", with the TOS interface showing only green text on a black background (very much like DOS), while Fruits (Fruit OS users) are depicted as exciting and/or interesting people, frequently using smilies in forums.
