Official Windows 7 mascot Nanami Madobe has appeared in her own anime, exhorting people to build their own PC (naturally enough a boxy little Windows media centre PC).
Although undeniably glossy and well conceived, Nanami actually seems to have achieved little traction in comparison to previous OS-tans – the amount of fan art of her is minimal, and she is entirely devoid of the kind of tongue-in-cheek references which made previous OS-tans so endearing.

Well...

2003 tan = Network fish
Vistan = Unpopular, craving for fame
7 tan = Ultimate marketer, will sell air
I like this clip but can't really picture Microsoft as a humble and honorable company like this japanese-like anime girl suggests. Microsoft cannot be trusted, they can't stand competition and they have broken antitrust laws. Their most known case was to give out a browser for free, subsidized by Windows, ruining the browser market and then polluting the web standard so other browser would render web pages wrong.
Nanami fails at building PCs... you can't use an AMD board with an Intel chip... BROOKLYN RAGE~!
Her eyes are sooo beatiful :3 , I want doujinshis of her now xD
can anyone find a english sub?
in that whole video, not once did she say "pinorin!"
I am very disappoint..
Ahhh~ Nana-tan!
I like how the parts come together. CROSS FUSION!
i love all japanese propaganda/commercials!
"Nanami actually seems to have achieved little traction in comparison to previous OS-tans – the amount of fan art of her is minimal, and she is entirely devoid of the kind of tongue-in-cheek references which made previous OS-tans so endearing."
I'd have to agree. The other OS tans had flavor, style and some logical relationship with the OS's they were supposedly representing.
Nanami is well, cute and all. But just that. She's overall boring and uninteresting.
Maybe making an official OS tan wasn't such a good move after all.
Hmmm... maybe she's fit for her time.
Think about it:
- older anime -> more variable -> more variable OS-tans
- nowadays anime -> mostly moe -> (rather)moe OS-tan
Maybe there's a relation?
her eyes are pretty! >.>
Youtube Preview image fail.
Well, I'm sold.
Seriously..,I prefer running my laptop with XP... but that was really Moe-tically tempting..
Holy cuteness overload, OS-tan
warning, warning, moe overload, moe overload, your pc will shut down after 3,2,1... X( thank you for using windows, enjoy your moe-bsod "screen saver" :)
Bringing "Blue screen of death" to the next level..
i <3 nanami
shes been in my pc for a while now.
Bring on the hentai doujins...That'll make you popular in no time~
M.U.S.T.-B.U.I.L.D.-A.-P.C.... M.U.S.T.-B.U.I.L.D.-A.-P.C.
KAWAII!~
Windows? Never again! Dad's PC was so clogged with viruses, I pretty much forced him to move to Linux Mint. He adapted pretty quickly, and it works much better: light, solid, and secure. No more malware problems for me to fix!
Give Windows another try, anon. A bad experience w/ Me or XP (before service packs) is gone with Win7.
I *have* used 7, and it did not impress me; Mint did.
I was given a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit license by a technological institution, but I don't want to install it until I get myself two 1 GB DDR2-800 SDRAM modules to replace my lone 1 GB DDR2-667 in order to be sure it'll have good performance.
Nana Mizuki + Microsoft Windows 7 = EPIC WIN
Market leader of Computer, Entertainment, and video games:
1. Microsoft
2. Nintendo
3. Sony
EPIC WIN EPIC WIN EPIC WIN FTW!
Her face.. was just pasted on a cheerleader's body... Oh well~ Nanami panchira yummmm~~ <3
Someone get this English Subbed, please.
Done. BSS subbed this on Monday. Also, check out this link:

There's also a CD single by Nanami floating around.
soo lovely =)
Oh, and apparently there's a sidekick to Nanami. I'm not too sure what her/his name is, but she/he's on answering Twitter questions and stuffs (@windows7_nanami) whenever Nanami is away from Twitter.
Apparently, Nanami also uses an iPhone. :|
That's awesome and if you disagree with me, you're worse than Hitler.
Why Windows is better than linux.
nanami <3
Don't really care about Nanami-tan, but I do want Nana Mizuki's voice on my windows.
No love for the other 5 somewhat-official -tans? I like Nanae better than Nanami, sadly. Mature > all ditzy whores.
That said, I can understand why Nanami isn't as pop as, say, WinXP.
1. Nanami's officially sanctioned, and regardless of people installing M$'s over Macs all over, it's easier to hate M$ for their practices. Not even Nana Mizuki can change that.
2. She doesn't have the charm. Being officially sanctioned, of course M$ wouldn't want Nanami to have a speck of flaw present in her appearance. PR 101, folks. Fan-designers don't that to limit them. This of course, brings an important issue of corporate humility, which M$ seemingly lacks.
So far, I haven't read or heard any glaring issues with Windows 7 as compared to XP's excessive memory use or Vista's overall failure. My own Pro 64bit is ace. Any techies notice anything?
cause those mascots were more for the bing search engine rather than for windows & as a whole
I wish apple will produce their own official OS-tan.
Will macfags stabbed me to death if I put nanami wallpaper on my mac?
It isn't too far-fetched... IF OS-tans become a trend, because we all know that Apple = trends.
I used to believe that Apple LCD monitors are just as good as CRTs for graphic design, since everyone in the design industry here taught me so. Boy was I wrong.
It was at least worth to hear Nana Mizuki's voice. Great seiyuu...
this ad was of high production quality and is worthy of being praised, plus nana mizuki but since the character is "officially" made by microsoft, it kinda defeats the purpose of hiving os-tans. still she's pretty cute tho.
M-m-m-moe........
Is the appeal here that she's both stupid and easily pleased with pictures of koala bears? Am I the only one who would rather see someone competent trying to sell me a product rather than an energetically cute goofball?
I don't think I'm their targetted demographic...
Well at least she has the brains to build a custom PC than buy one from Best Buy or Future shop....
Agreed...
I love Nanami! Since I got Win7 it has been my only theme, I never change it. I thought people may find it weird but my family likes it, even my girlfriend.
"Nanami actually seems to have achieved little traction in comparison to previous OS-tans – the amount of fan art of her is minimal, and she is entirely devoid of the kind of tongue-in-cheek references which made previous OS-tans so endearing."
Probably has something to do with her being made by M$.
You've just hit the nail on the head, chara design is pretty bland compared to the other OS-tans, even though it has Nana-sama voicing her...
har har, aren't you witty. "M$" indeed.
Fanart are always more endearing than mascots.
