Hey all, I hope this hasn't been discussed already (as far as I know it hasn't by using search) but I found that someone out there has already started making a fan-made concept of the next major Windows OS - Windows 10!
here is where I found them:

If anyone has info or thoughts regarding this please share!
i'm.....not sure if i like her. she's okay. a bit too similar to 2k and her tits are HUUUUGE. not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that the depictions sexualized her a bit too much for my taste. gotta build a baseline before we start delving into porn.
though someone should court this person to come to OSC.
She's several orders of magnitude too ~~Generic Kawaii Busty Anime Girl Desu Desu~~ for my tastes.
I found this on Yuu's Twitter today: http://m.akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/wakiba/find/20150324_694390.html
Could be Microsofts official 10-Tan.
What I want to know is what will happen to Nanami. Microsoft seems pretty diligent on making sure they get people off of Windows 7 and onto 10. I'm worried they're gonna kill her off or something.
nah. they're too disney for that. she'll just "retire".
but honestly, they kept her around after 8's launch, methinks she'll still be part of the windows stable. or who knows, maybe 10 is a timeskip and she's actually nanami's kid. #keepbeachcityweird
Who would the father be? The only males from Microsoft I can think of is Claude and the shop guy. Incest is out of the question, and the shop keeper has a crush on Claudia.
The suspense is killing me... (holding Nanami daki tightly)
The father is 2k-kun, crossing the streams between Microsoft and Nijura -w-;
>"Who would the father be"
>implying heteros / hetero reproduction going on in the OS-tan community

Thanks you all for the input so far! :D
But yeah, as far as I'm concerned, I would sure like/hope for her to (when it comes official) have really light-blue hair, or something major very light-blue........I believe it is one very unique change that could make her represent (and match) Windows 10, unlike the glasses in the first ones I pointed out that make her a little too close to 2k-tan. That just doesn't do as much for me. ;)

This makes me wonder what we'd actually GET if such a pairing was to occur.

In what sense Nej?
Jesus she's stacked
It's cause she needs more ram.
@bells, nej, kodomo: there have been both hetero and homu pairings that have been canon. Throwing the incest angle out the window, we have the 97 siblings (brother x brother and sister x sister), 98 x Homeo, ME x Kyourou, 95 x 95 (or Daiginjou), 2k x XP Pro (male AND female), 2k-kun x Daiginjou, hell, even 2k x Pizza. In my canon, Yamada is the 98 girls' mother and 95's estranged sister, so that leads into the question of who's the father there. A complex network of relationships exist here, and as stated in the other thread, I think I found evidence of a canon yuri pairing.
At this point I'm not going to speculate on how 10-tan came to be, I'm just going to wait for more deets on her as a character.
Yeah, I know. I'm just aggressively critical of hetshipping in general. Particularly hetships that yield children...
I really don't know why, unless you're upset more over the lack of homushipping. :\

Why is nobody mention about cortana?
Isn't she's the one who can talk with us in Windows 10?
hello newbie, go introduce yourself over in Member Introduction Thread. (https://ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php?topic=125.0)
Cortana isn't a Windows 10 thing---she was introduced much earlier as windows' answer to Siri. she's a phone assistant--nothing more, nothing less.
Cortana started in Windows Phone 8 but is now moving over to Windows 10, she does most of the things you would expect a phone assistant to do except on the desktop. It would be interesting if they somehow tied in the new Madobe with Cortana, like we see with Siri and iPhone-tans, but I feel as though you could just us the Halo character instead of making an actual -tan.
technically Microsoft DOES have some stake in the Halo rights, sooo....
@lego: thanks for correcting me, yo. :0
Windows 10 Madobe being an anime Cortana, I can see it happening but I wouldn't like it very much.
knowing MS they may just adapt the 3d models and make her an american mascot. cause you know us murricans', we love our CG. :\
Yeah... CG...

Don't worry, it's seems less possible for Cortona to be W10 mascot.
Since Japanese Microsoft anime artist completely forget about her.
According to that link from your post.
It's highly possible to be W10 Official mascot.
I've done a bit research a about her.
Since they said it's Windows 10 DSP (DSP版Windows 10)
Even Madobe Official mascots are all Windows DSP Edition iso.

It's Official~ No name though... Yet.
QuoteMicrosoft's mascot is a cute 17-year old anime girl who comes from 100 years in the future, works part-time in the gadget-heavy city in Akihabara and, of course, she loves to play online games. Her voice will be handled by anime voice-over actress Ai Nonaka.
Here's the website (where a campaign to name her will apparently be held in June): http://dspwindows-10charanaming.azurewebsites.net/ (http://dspwindows-10charanaming.azurewebsites.net/)
oh Japan. and i'm willing to bet americans will be barred from entering.
i suppose naming her Juun is tacky. xD
(also, may i just say the "100 years in the future" part is so fucking stupid i want to cry.)

Perhaps it supposed to symbolize Microsoft's vision of a successful "Windows as a service" model, with 10 being the "
last Windows" under the traditional versioning and major release paradigm employed with previous versions.
That's what I think off the top of my head anyhow. Why else would she be from the future? Magical girls too mainstream? :P
I like the white hair, it's a nice touch.
I agree the from the future thing is a bit odd, but will that mean there wont be any new Microsoft-tans for another hundred years?
@Dustii: it just feels soooo.......CLICHE. like, "ooo, let's make her more interesting by making her FROM THE FUTURE. they'll eat that up!"
we have no proof that MS will be around in 100 years. we have no proof HUMANS will be around in 100 years. if that was their intended angle, i'm inclined to hate her from the start solely because of their presumptuous arrogance. >>;
My only issue is that there's really not much to her right now. She has more going on than the 8 twins or Nanami, at least, but she still doesn't have enough to feel like a fully fleshed out character IMO; all we know is "from the future", "works at store in Akihabara", and "plays online games". Maybe that will change when they release more promo material, but as it stands, it feels like she was created more as "waifu material" than anything (But I suppose that could boil down to a problem with the focus on moe in modern anime, which is a subject stretching far beyond the scope of this topic).
Her costume is kinda cute, at least, even if the "10" on the skirt seems a bit silly.
go ahead and have that as headcanon, i'm not really comfortable with that. they don't really look alike in the slightest, outside of "generic anime girl" body type and clothes. :\
@pent: agreed. she's.....bland. uninspired. a marketing tool. tbh they started to get watered-down at the advent of Nanami, but things really started going downhill with the Silverlight girls. :\
this is one of my major problems when big companies get in on little things. they ruin the hell out of it.
One question, hopefully you guys know a bit more about this than I do...........
In speaking of this new official Windows 10 tan, whom they say they're going to name on June 19, they also said in that news-press article that a girl actress will play the "voice" of her. This makes me want to know, is there actually animated cartoon films they make off of OS-tans besides just art/comics, and if so, in Japan only? I mean, I'm in the USA, and I've been able to find one OS-tan animated film with Nanami on YouTube, but that's about it (it had English subtitles). I ask this because I'd like to watch some more of these if I knew where to find them.
Anyway, thanks again you all for the input, I really like her character design myself! (Does anyone else also? :) )
Silverlight had a few animation/slideshow type things, and there were a few animations involving Claudia, Nanami, [insert computer dude here], and Ruri. weirdly enough they haven't crossed over with SL (likely due to the language barrier, the Silverlight Girls are from Taiwan), or the 8 girls. They've released a few songs voiced by some MS girls as well. :0
(not to mention the soundpacks that go with Windows; hopefully 10-tan will have better voicing than the 8 girls)
I have only two things to say:
1. Gecko is my bro. (Nanami's coworker)
2. Microsoft better continue to make those anime shorts and they better have Ai, Yū and Marten McMicrosoft appear in it.
you're gonna have to enlighten me as to the last one.

"Marten McMicrosoft"???
I must agree though that I would enjoy seeing more shorts. (even though I don't understand Japanese, I found the Claudia shorts [based off the webcomic], with Nanami and "Gecko"(?) to be entertaining).

There was a comic crossover with Yu, Ai, and Inori Aizawa (also MS Taiwan) in the Inori Dayo comics, however, that is likely a different story as its more easily done than voice acting.
Still, I think the lack of Hikaru (the remaining Silverlight-tan) is more due to the deprecation of Silverlight itself in favor of the Windows Runtime (which can be seen as an evolution of Silverlight and the WPF). I even saw a tweet on the official Hikaru account talking about her desire for a Silverlight 6 (5 is fairly outdated and been left to collect dust). Poor thing...

I found their [Yu & Ai's] voices quite fine. Not overly interesting or engaging, but they weren't horrible, to say none the least.
The VA for Windows 10 [insert name here] -tan is Ai Nonaka, who is known for a few Anime roles, most notably the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series, as the feisty, self-centered, fiery girl of hunger "Kyouko Sakura (http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Kyoko_Sakura)".
they're not bad, just.....bland as shit. compare to Nanami and they sound almost zombie-like. the sound i remember most is them saying "ja-jaan" together, where i hovered between annoyed and creeped out.
tooootally not what i had expected for their voice actors. given their faces/actions, i'd expect more liiike.....

Their sound effects were a bit bland (Like, Mario Sunshine's Princess Peach levels of bland), but their soundtracks were better.
Also, Wiki page is up (https://ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php?title=Windows_10)
(Sidenote: I've noticed that certain elements do not properly align on the Wiki. :\ Just a minor annoyance, though I wonder how hard it would be to fix this, or if it's a rendering engine thing.)
Yay for Wiki page!

I found one on Youtube (you wouldn't of even known it was supposed to be Yu & Ai had one not known what they were looking for) and I posted about it a while back (https://ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php?topic=1489.msg157134#msg157134). The other one was from the DSP disk, which was also posted in the forum (https://ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php?topic=1710.msg157917#msg157917).
Future update was okay as well.

It would appear, now that the contest is open, that all you need is a valid email address, as they only gave me a privacy policy, which made no mention of region restrictions :|
It gave a few options as to the name (Anne, Sora, Neon, and one other that I forgot {But I do remember Google Translate kept spitting out a different Japanese name in English than the original was pronounced phonetically in Japanese}), as well as the option to input a custom name.
I put in Shin, which written as 新 apparently translates to "new", as Windows 10 is supposed to be new and improved, and written as 信 apparently translates to "trust", as Windows 10 will have to gain a number of users' trust that it's actually better.
Shinako, if it could be worked out with the kanji would be a pretty name. if nothing else, American fans could relate to the fact that it sounds like "shiny". -w-;

T'is a beautiful name indeed. I like the sound of it.
However I doubt much Microsoft Japan cares about the American fans. Unlike Microsoft Taiwan, I've yet to see them have any interaction with the western market.
indeed. we'ere not profitable! : D
I'm voting Marten McMicrosoft, I don't care how stupid it may sound I just think it would be funny.

Nope, I've read とう(Tou) こ(ko) from hiragana since the begining. I don't give a damn about [GT]. :P
Beside their twitter have already change the background with hiragana name.
So there's no way とうこcan be read into something else it's not kanji that can be more confusing.
Touko, Sora 2 other candidate names was in the poll since the begining from June
when they open the vote last months ago & there were last option for submit other names.

yep. They had an event. Also it appears, romanized, the u is omitted, based on the photo of the display (From my vague memory of beginners Japanese this happens with some words. Can't remember why. I really need to get back into learning it (@.@' ) )

Oh i have no doubt tbat you're correct; I was just saying I didn't remember Toko/Touko, but I did remember that one wouldn't spit out the romanization by Google Translate, therefore Toko/Touko must of been the aforementioned untranslated one.

Generic moe schoolgirl + system colors + logo is quite possibly the oldest (poorly designed) OS-tan crafting formula there is.
her name means Stone.
alternatively, i've seen "Transparent Girl" and "May" given as meanings (weird, since the typical Japanese term for may is Go-gatsu), but Stone seems to be the most common.
she has about as much personality as a rock, yeah. >>;
Personality can be change.
not with what they're giving us now, and the corporate-tans they've made in the past. the only exception has been Claudia and Rui, and that's just baaaarely. >>;
We can made it more reasonably better & match the previous profile for example.
[??] Madobe was came from her future world to her mission in 2015
& loss her memory from accident while time traveling to 2015 & become Nameless.
She cannot recall her name for a while so this plot would fit the event for renaming her name.
Now she's called Toko(Touko) Madobe in this era. Now she lost some of her previous memory
her personality can be change. With amnesia her background personally became void.
Beside it's unreasonable to have naming event if she know who she is.
So memory loss from time traveling accident by fled from unknown enemies
would match the event. However with her W10 power can made her regain
some of her memories about her mission in 2015.
The past cannot be change but the future can be polish
just like polishing a stone into the gemstone.
and this plot doesn't break the previous profile.

Possibly (the former). Also possible they deciding to go the extra mile and do something extra for participants, though not as likely I'm sure.
They could of also been waiting to create the wallpaper till the name was chosen, which could explain the delay. If they wished to work the name into the art they may not of wanted to plan the artwork ahead of time in case the name chosen would not fit with what they had planned.
that might be the case, actually, and the artist might have a hard time working it in. :0

Transparent Touko from the webpage

Yay!

you can see her ass in the wallpaper....>>;;
Is it bad for me to comment on Toko's Twitter posts in English?
doubt it. she likely has western fans.
Now she already have become a parody for most "Yandere" operating system ever.
If anyone have ever read about "privacy concern".

given how aggressive they were with their marketing this doesn't surprise me. (forced updates that might brick your computer, though? scaaaaary)
It bricked my laptop before I downgraded. I heard a rumor that the Windows 10 upgrade will soon be moved to the optional updates category of Windows Update, and in 2016 it will become a recommended update.
...and now I'm left wondering if somehow Windows 10 is what caused 2k's motherboard to give out :\
Welp; guess I'm going back to 7 when I rebuild (Besides, the ever-so-common "Start menu is now nonfunctional because updates need to install" problem was getting old. Even ME knew how to tell me updates are ready without breaking basic functionality)
yeahhhhh, kinda glad i disabled the updates all of a sudden...
I was in the middle of an essay when I went to the bathroom, I came back and found it restarting to install updates.
I had that happen with Vista, except I was downloading a new episode of Angry Video Game Nerd. With 10, at least on 2k, its thing was breaking the Start menu when updates were ready to install :\
Seriously going back to 7 when 2k is rebuilt; I'd love to just go to Linux Mint, but I'd lose half my games.
i'd go to Manga-ka Linux or OpenArtist, but i doubt some of my games are supported, too. :\
if nothing else, at least it's possible to disable the auto-updates. i typically keep putting mine off, haha...
I saw 2 new wallpapers.
