(wonders if this is either supportive or a thinly-veiled slap at Windows 7)
An official Microsoft-sanctioned OS-tan? What has science done!?
"As stated in the previous post, many of you are probably familiar with the OS-tan meme, which delights in portraying Windows operating systems as cute anime girls. Originally from 2chan, this meme has become extremely popular, spawning thousands of pieces of fanart, as well as flash videos, internet communities, manga, doujinshi, and even its own wiki. The Japanese branch of Microsoft has realized the huge marketing potential of this concept, and decided to create an official OS-tan for Windows 7, by the name of Nanami Madobe. This name is, naturally, a pun: "nana" is Japanese for "seven", and "mado" means "window".
Nanami Madobe will be voiced by prolific seiyuu Nana Mizuki, best known for playing Hinata Hyuga in Naruto. Nanami will be "included" with the Japanese Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, by way of an exclusive wallpaper and event sound set featuring her voice. ANN speculates that she is aimed at the nerdy build-your-own-computer types, but I think otaku of all persuasions will be quick to embrace her, especially if she shows some blue-striped panties. In any case, she's certainly a better mascot than Mac's equivalent: the condescending self-important hipster."
d'aww ^^
Damn that's a big burger. o.o
I approve of dismissing the burger and focussing on Microsoft actually having a shot at cracking Japanese marketting.
DO WANT VERY MUCH
But it doesn't count if the OS-tan doesn't mock some feature of the system!
*Looks at burger* What the bleep?!
All I can say to that is, it's a good thing they aren't marketing Windows 95... or Windows 2000.
I feel strangely happy.
ALL HAIL WINDOWS XP-TAN!!!!!
