Users of Windows 7 in Japan will receive a new theme that is voiced by popular seiyuu idol, Mizuki Nana, along with an officially sanctioned OS-tan, Nanami Madobe.
The theme, only available by preordering Microsoft’s latest operating system, is said to be the only localised original theme to date, proving even Microsoft is acknowledging the selling power of moe in Japan.
The recruitment of Nana Mizuki is not surprising considering her chart topping popularity throughout 2009, and also considering she shares the same name as the operating system (nana = 7).
It is still not clear whether the newly introduced image character for Windows 7 that comes with the theme, 窓辺ななみ / Nanami Madobe (whose name is a series of dire puns), will be adapted as the official Windows 7 “OS-tan“, who were formerly fan-created…

I am so jealous now. T_T
It's the future of OS-tan!! XD Oh man, i GOTTA buy that OS!!
(Windows 7 + moe + seiyuu idol) * otaku + # of copies of OS = $$$$$$$
only 5000 copies
You'd think they'd at least want to release OVER 9000 copies of it...
Most retailers *aren't* that meme-savvy though, sadly.
They need to release the voice pack on a seperate downloadable packet...
GAHHH, I WANA PREORDER MY WIN 7 IN JAPAN!!!!
Holy shit. I never knew that any of this -tan stuff could be official.
But, no doubt a bootleg version will be up for download, even for good ol' XP, sometime soon.
MICROSOFT!!! .... TEMPTING ME!! .... AGAIN!!
A Microsoft approved OS-tan, i assume??
/me points to hair pin
4chan is everywhere...
Because four-leaf clovers were invented by 4chan, right?
No, it was an invention of the Leprechauns.
"They're always after me Lucky Charms!"
always afterr yer potta gould~ damn thouse leprechauns
looks like fresh precure symbol to me
amulet fortune hair pin?
"The theme, only available by preordering Microsoft’s latest operating system,"
Or wait 2.5 seconds after it's released for it to be downloadable from many sites. :)
I really hope so. Y__Y
Hopefully for XP, too.
I ain't upgrading until MS gives free creds for the crime that was Vista.
do want! do very want!
do want
By far the most appealing of the OS-tans, IMO
Com on, she's not even close to the sex-appeal of 2K-tan or XP-tan
I liked XP until I got tired of all the inflation art of her.
Boobs pale in comparison to the power of moe!
What about ME-tan.
Oh wait you said sex not moe.
cute character design!! and i really love Nana Mizuki! Japan is lucky as usual.
do want
I've been hearing good feedbacks about windows 7 or along the lines of "At least its better than vista". I hope the theme will somehow manage to find its way to the west later.
W7 > Vista = Tumor > AIDS
Sometimes, you just can't compare things
Actually, the phrase is, "Windows 7 doesn't suck as badly as Vista."
Anyone know how it does compare XP?
Quite favorably, in my opinion. Been using it since January this year on my windows box AND my Dell Laptop (which doesn't even have Dell 'official' 64-Bit support), in favor of XP (and Vista for the damn laptop). Didn't have any major problems even with the Beta on either computer. And I do use the 64-Bit version on both.
damn America when will u learn Japan is better at everything!
Yes because an American company using culture-specific marketing techniques is clearly "Japan being better". Weaboo detected.
time to ready wallet for this
I used win7 retail for over a month now. Looking forward for this oppai theme!
lol i stumbled upon this info literally 20 minutes before it hot posted up here, you guys are fast
Check out her music on youtube she has some great songs and does alot of seiyu work
Apparently sex doesn't sell,
moe does.
XD
It does if it is moe sex.
sex < moe < moe sex.
+1
Well, it's windows.. so.. a trap?
also needs official music: http://xspblog.com/2009/07/19/os-tan-troubled-windows/
Surprised they didn't plan this sooner.
Next thing ya know, the OS-tans will star in their own music game. Or even better, a fighter pitting them against the Vocaloids.
Hey, that's an awesome idea for a game~
But who would win the battle, OS-tans or Vocaloids?
Touhou girls for teh win
qft
Microsoft vs Yamaha! Just like moe version of the "Marvel vs" series.
Of course, Vista will be the final boss, with her unstoppable 3 bar supper "Red Screen of Death".
Time to fight against the RRoD with vocaloids!!!
hell yeah XD
Or, knowing Microsoft, they'll fight against butt ugly Mac OS and Linux strawmen.
I'm still waiting for the next step: where they have *AIs* with Japanese VAs (or English-speaking VAs for those of us too strapped for time/strapped for cash/stupid to actually be able to learn Japanese)!
I can imagine one of them pulling a HAL-9000..... Yandere Moe AI? Yes, please.
