Want, want, want. <3
Ultimate is supposed to have big boobs :( and show lots of skin.
I think she's quite attractive, even without the outfit fanservice and giant chest. In fact, I prefer her to the blatant-fanservice-r-us fanmade versions, to be honest.
Wow, this is pretty awesome.
A so called "official" 7-tan.
Going to be interesting to see if the design sticks.
Seems at least the japanese chapter of M$ have caught on to things...the right way, this time around.
Let's forget about THAT and pretend it never happened, guys, k? ಠ_ಠ^-^;

I really hope it does. There's already one fanart of her on Pixiv, and the reaction on nijiura.ath.cx is mostly positive. It seems that most of the fanartists are waiting until the actual release of the system so that the have a full view to work from.
NejinOniwa: "THAT" being?
The horror has been, to some extent, recorded in this (http://ostan-collections.net/topic-757-40.html) thread. Read, possibly google for moar, try avoiding killing yourself before you can bathe your eyes on proper imagery again, and do never speak of it again.

Oh the horror.... THE HORROR OF THOSE LEGO RIPOFFS!!
Glad THAT's over with. And this one sure is likable. Now, if only they were as good as have these uploaded to the Internet.
Hmm... I wonder if they'll continue the tradition of making a "tan" for each version though. Oh well... let the HUGE AMOUNTS OF HENTAI COME! (as it happens with every single anime character that ever exists).

That, or..
Official New Mascot = Disagreement War Over
Only time will tell.
Well, yeah. At least we have something to say "THIS IS OFFICIAL, FAGS, GET OVER WITH IT" about when the newfags whine. -.-
But well, the designers obviously did their homework in Our department before coming up with things, so I'd say this is a win-win.

AND HAY. GUISE.
Official mascotry...
...perhaps...
...might mean a chance of other officially endorsed products.
MANGOS AND ANIMUS A'COMAN.
And hey, with M$ backing them, they're not exactly gonna have a flimsy budget to throw around, so if it comes (and knowing how much japanese business listens to 2ch it WILL, quite certainly) it will be qualitative FO SHO.
(well, in theory that works at least -w-; )
Wow... the more I look at that image... the more I feel the urge to draw her. lol
I now... if only she were coming over to the states... or at least someone decided to dub her. Now that would be totally awesome.
No, it wouldn't, because it's not possible to do it properly.
......okay, that does it.
*downloads from school's MSDNAA thingy*
oh, hi there.
:3
Well, eehm.....
eeeerrrrmmmm....
Well i think we have a winner in the race for win7-tan.... ^_^
Gawd she's cute
Not just cute... it's the only officially supported Windows 7-tan --or rather Nanami-- and likely even the Windows... save for that horrible team of el cheapo LEGO ripoffs (the Source Fource). Yeah, that POS group of crap art is still alive... much to our dismay.
By the way... I realized...
TH FREAKING WINDOWS TANS NOW HAVE A FAMILY NAME!! MADOBE FAMILY FTW!!!!
Window 7 & Madobe Nanami seems to be interesting...
Soon or later I'll try out Window 7, to know if Madobe Nanami will be my favourite OS-tan. LoL XD
(http://img01.pixiv.net/img/kuro-kuro/6347069_m.jpg)
Her half suit...... ;018
Hmm, took me a while to notice, is it just me or does Nana-san really resemble Hacchan?
Same haircut, same jaket/vest thingie.
I also see the resemblance between her and Hacchan.
Still, she's got a good character design but I'm actually disappointed that there's a 100% official Windows 7-tan design.
The OS-tan phenomenon has for years been 100% fanmade, by the OS-tan fans, for the OS-tan fans and to me it just doesn't seem right that there's an official and company-sponsored OS-tan character all of a sudden!
mmm... your point is right Aurora oO (talking about fanmade o,O); and I really no know a lot about OS =_=; but just yesterday while I wandering on Gelbooru a tag called to me, then I open a new search and I can saw some pics of win7, 2 are the same official (avatar and complete) and 3 fanart based on she oO, I really think the character have charm and well, on my point is an OS-tan o.O, and is good to have more OS-tan after Vocaloid/UTAU sucess >_< (Im a traitress too T¬T, Im a fan of Miku and Teto ;_; )...
I can find other 3 designs too, btw owO, my favorites are official and that look as XPpro...
here official ^w^:

[attachment deleted by admin]
Madobe = Window. Nana = Seven.
I suck for not realizing that. -_-
The design reminds me of 98 too...
@Nejin: More exactly, Madobe means "by the window"... lol
That's kind of why I said the Windows tans had a family name. XD
Well, yeah, that's when I realized it lol -.-
I'm too slow sometimes.

Hmm... by the way... what we should be doing now is one of two things:
a) Support it and make lots-o-fanart and stuff for her.
b) Not care... whatever...
or
c) Not support it and forever deny her existence.
Hmm... we need a poll for this XDD.

I quite like the second one, but Nanami is quite good, too.

Yeeeeeeaah... because we don't know how that ended... *cough*Vista*cough* lol
@Red_Machine: I myself am going for option "a" and option "b"... I think I am more interested in this thing because Mizuki Nana is her seiyuu. I like that voice a lot (that's without mentioning how much I like her). lol
Definitely option A. I've already fanarted it.
Having never seen any good, consistent 7-tan myself (except for that HORRIFYING eyeless thing), I'm all A on this one.
I guess it would be good to have a completely official OS-tan to compete against those Vocaloids! May the OS-tans make a comeback!
So yeah, now I'm in favor of her.

why can't we in the US have anything that cute? oh yeah.....it's caue we're stupid lazy dc-comics orientied americans.

it's weird having an "official" tan....
I say we'd better get used to it, if this hits through we might get somewhere with...other things as well.

That's what you mean Nejin?
We all know that d) is going to be chosen by people who desperately want to alter her 'Specifications'.
*Is late*
*reads the thread and looks at the pics*
*does a double-take*
OH. MY. GOD. NUKER APPROVES! ;036
An official 7-tan? Drawn in actual anime style instead of being a lego rip-off? Borrowing some great design ideas from the OS-tan community itself? And voiced by Nana Mizuki?
That's just overkill man.
And the name thing is just genius. Windows family name FTW!
The temptation of buying a copy of 7 from MS Japan an then downloading a language pack is strong, but Ultimate costs waaay too much for me. I guess I'll just wait until MS releases the special content separately.
Obviously option a) for me, though I agree with Aurora on the fan-made thing. This is gonna be a big change.
QuoteThat's what you mean Nejin?
Oh, please.
Think, with what little demonic part of your brain you have.
Think demon. I know you can do it.
Or at least, I hope. -.-
As for changes on "specifications"...that's not exactly unusual, now is it >_>
And hey, guess if this pirate is gonna be doing his job this autumn?
YOU'RE RIGHT.
hmm, *wishes for torrent*
maybe mac will pull that stick out of it's ass and follow suit. ^^
oh, and i vote option a......it's rather exciting, actually. but we should be cautious, lest they start copyrighting the -tans.
Actually...
Considering what wrath 2ch would bring down on them if they DID, I don't think they fukken dare to.
Sure, Nanamado will be copyrighted as a program, but the design? I mean, srsly, I dunno. But I don't think so, at least.
(besides, japanese law for that kind of stuff is at best extremely vague, and at worst as full of loopholes as a swiss cheese - why else do you think we have doujins, etc, anyway? oi, oi.)
ah, fanfic. ^^ what would we do without you? <3
really we NEED a lot of fanart n___n...
viva the fanart >¬<!!!

Dude... you have made one random realization.
Anyways, here's another one...
THIS THREAD WENT TO ITS THIRD PAGE!!! OMG!!!
Things are surely looking up for activity... or just for Nanami-chan. lol
I have most existing fanart of Nanami, if anyone wants it zipped or rarred.
If you can be bothered, gallery uploadan would be appreciated. ^^
Can someone get an administer to create a Windows 7 category?
I'm sure someone here has already browsed pixiv for these things, but here are a few tags you guys can keep tabs on as things go by.
Expect more when Win7 is released to the masses in Japan.

Haha, sorry for my absence. With my summer internship and now taking 6 engineering classes this semester, things have been really busy. XD;
Luckily, since I'm enrolled in CS classes, I get early access to Nana-chan via MSDNAA. X3
lolz. good to have you back, and hopefully not in just the porn forum.
and kuro, like nejin said, if you have time, upload! try in vain to beat nejin's record! xD
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but Nanami will just be a wallpaper and an "event sound". http://www.thebanzaieffect.com/articles/ooga/mizuki-nana-voices-nanami-madobe-in-windows-7-ultimate/
Does that mean, for example, that she will giggle and say something like "Stop that, it tickles!" when you start poking around in the system files?
who knows. the point of this thread is, for the first time, it's OFFICIAL.

sounds interesting ¬w¬, and to dream is free ^^...
and yep, the really odd is OFFICIAL n,n...
.....after years of having all of it be fan-made, it's kinda......awkward to have something be "official" for once......are other OSes going to follow suit? will we never get to make any new -tans??? o____o;
Just because there is an official OS-tan, that doesn't mean there can no longer be any new OS-tans or OS-tan fanarts. In fact, the fanart for the other OS-tans keep coming in!
..true. i'm just worried that, due to cute corporate sponsorship like nana-tan, we will be limited in our creativity of creation. the new -tans will already be decided for us. and only 2 OSes have survived with multiple representation, XPMCE, who is barely known, and, of course, the infamous vista. -____-;
Don't jump the gun on things, man...
Just because this OS-tan got official support, I wouldn't guarantee that all future Windows-tans will be given an OS mascot.
I agree. I think Nanami was created as a marketing ploy to boost the Windows 7 hype since it's marketed as a very revolutionary OS, or at least vastly better than Vista. It's possible that only Windows 7 will have an official OS-tan.
We know for sure that MS wouldn't bother making mascots of the older Windows OSes, so Vistan and her predecessors are 'safe' from 'replacement'.
... for now.
You think that MS wants to advertise Vista, much less XP, in ANY way now that they have 7? They were already trying to get rid of XP so people would buy Vista, and because few reviewers liked Vista, I think they're trying to get rid of it in the same way. As for the others, they're not for sale by retailers any longer, so why bother make an "official" -tan for them?
Future OS'es are to think of, whether this one goes well or not could determine their possible fates...
Remember that when it comes to business and marketing, there's no looking back, only forward.
And sideways.
true dat.
but i'm still worried. it's like nejin said, if this goes over well, then they may try again.
but who knows, it could spark the AI race. :3
but still, we'll still make other -tans for them if we don't like the ones offerd. ^^
The AI race is a short run once someone gets the general idea of how it should be done...
...I have it already.
i once woke up one morning and decided that i should spend my life devoted to science. i started drawing up plans for the very first persocom, joints, skin, ect.
then 20 minutes later i decided that it was stupd and went back to being an artist.

(You get extra points if you have a clue what I'm talking about...
You had to pick a thread which had someone in it who ACTUALLY knows about strong AI's)
my sis predicts that if a persocom is ever to be made, mac will probably be the one to do it.
and then we'll build em' and crash em' by installing windows. ^^
sooooo.....DOES ANYONE HAVE AN ISO FILE OF WINDOWS 7 I'M DESPERATE AT THIS POINT AND I CAN'T TORRENT

here is a legal Trial iso of windows 7 Enterprise all enterprise is is a vol key edition of ultimate with the games turned off like pro.

Are you talking about intelligence evolution process?
I've been reading too many tech articles about lots of things... and something like this came, only it was on how to make the perfect tablet OS. Turns out that going from neither end was a good idea... at least for tablets.
Why start from an end, when you can just take it all in one fell swoop?
From what i hear the really difficult thing ain't to make a smart AI, it's to make a human AI that can make mistakes and have feelings, just like a human. Artificial clumsyness i think it was called.
It's also pretty hard to build a computer powerful enough to house it and allow it to operate properly...we ain't quantum enough for that yet.
True, computers have become very intelligent the last few years though. I hope that in maybe 20-30 years a full AI will be created ^_^
Oh, it won't be that long. I'd estimate at most 15 years, earlier if I can get my hands on the hardware easily. In any case, we're on the fast track -w-
Ah, i love technological evolution :3 Always moving swiftly forward ^_^
Naturally. <3
Some of us prefer to be smarter than the computer...
Well, GET SMARTER in that case? And integrated systems will be a necessity in the near future anyway, to keep up with stuff. In the end it'll come down to your own mindset, you know?
*still wishing for a persocom*
Quote from: "Sora"Some of us prefer to be smarter than the computer...
I see you are the "robot apocalypse" kind of paranoid? Uhm.. yeah... I don't mind robot apocalypse if it happens and I get to kill myself painlessly (throw myself into the sun at light speed).
Anyways... I want to have a real "Madobi OS" with me... even if not with a robot body.
Throwing yourself into the sun at light speed will be quick but very painful me thinks, since ur atoms will get teared to shreds and transformed into pure energy XD E = Mc^2 :3 Anyway, on topic: I'd also like a real OS-tan, it would be awesome. It would get very frustrating to keep em happy though.
Me want moar RAM can i haz? :3
No, i need it for the game i run atm.
please master!!
Ok here, have some RAM, but that's all you get untill i quit playing!
20 mins later
Can i haz moar RAM master? :3
Lightspeed doesn't necessarily tear you apart in any way, as long as you take necessary precautions (and don't accelerate like a iron capsule in the LHC)...so no MC^2 worth of energy here. -w-;
Indeed, it would take a lot of programming to make sure that any sort of synthetic being is kept satisfied...then again you could just play dirty and insert a function that automatically keeps the thing on the happy side of the scale, so yeah. -w-;
But then it wouldn't truly be sentient eh? A sentient machine could reprogram itself ^_^
Well Einstein said it himself, nothing can travel at lightspeed except pure enrgy aka light.
Could, sure...but if you told it not to, would it still? It's the AI equivalent of telling your child not to cut off a leg - or dye her hair, depending on the action.
I'm not quite sure Einstein said so - the only thing that's sure is that an object traveling at lightspeed is unaffected by the effects of the chronopulse, and thus does not perceive time. Thus, we can never PERCEIVE traveling at lightspeed in regular dimensional fields - with proper modification this might still be possible, however. Then again, R-axis movement makes the entire thing with lightspeed obsolete, so it's all about getting them to work properly. DAMNIT YOU, NOW YOU'VE GOTTEN ME STARTED ON PHYSICS AGAIN, I'LL BE STUCK THINKING IN 8 DIMENSIONS FOR A WEEK NOW. ;___;
Well a sentient being is able to make it's own descicions, it can decide if it wants the child to cut its leg or not. But by putting up a code saying: You can't do this. will effect how sentient the being or AI in question is. For when it is at the moment that it should decide if the child should cut it's leg or not it's decision gets guided by the code and prevents it from truely making an unuiqe descicion based on it's own thoughtpatterns. Instead the code tells it, you CAN'T think like this. Wich makes it less AI and more just a program.
EDIT: Sorry for the physics talk though ^_^'
installing a program in a sentient AI to prevent it from doing something takes away it's sentience, no matter how small the change. the definition of sentience is
sen·tience (sÄ›n'shÉ™ns, -shÄ"-É™ns)
n.
The quality or state of being sentient; consciousness.
Feeling as distinguished from perception or thought.
basically the ability to make one's own decisions. by preventing the AI's choice in the matter, we take away the ability to make one's own decisions, aka sentience.
and nej, don't worry, goplay some touhou. you'll feel better.
though, lightspeed travel has not yet occured as far as we know, so we have no idea of its ACTUAL effects, as einstein's theory is just that--a theory.
(FORGIVE ME EINSTEIN-SAMA ;___; )
Lightspeed is impossible, for one simple reason: if one was traveling at a quater of the speed of light, and your spaceship collided with one SPECK of space dust, the resulting explosion would be equivelent to 10 tons of TNT going off.
In case you didn't know, space is full of dust.
this has not yet been proven or tested outside of stars, whose composition at that point in time is a volatile explosive anyway.
this has yet to be tested with a vessel.
Hmm... hijacked thread aside, it'd still be cool having true AIOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) available on my computer or a robot... or even my "smartphone" (which would then be a true-to-life smartphone). Then again, it will probably end up bugging us when it starts nagging about how we pay more attention to "that other person" than we do them" and we'd just shut down the feature for the benefit of more computing power and, more importantly, getting them out of our necks.
Hmm... maybe I'm starting to have second thoughts on some things regarding AI-based OS.
Well, don't worry, I won't force them down your necks...
...or like, when I do, you won't notice -w-
subtlety is key. -w-
