Windows 8

Windows 8 is the latest version of the Windows OS by Microsoft,released October 25, 2012. It features a new Start Menu interface, and the inclusion of a new app store for purchasing "Windows Store Apps" from the Windows Store.

There is much controversy over Windows 8, for its new Start Menu and added features are not welcomed by everyone.

Yu & Ai Madobe

Yu & Ai are the unofficial mascots for Windows 8, which first appeared in an article about the two mascots for Windows 8 on October 11th, 2012. Before this article, one can see the silhouette of Yu Madobe at the end of a music video entitled Through The Window by MasatakaP and Electrocutica, that was the opener for Microsoft Developer Days in japan, and which stars Claudia Madobe,with a quick appearance by Nanami Madobe at the end shortly before the silhouette is seen.

Windows 8 DSP

In Japan, one can buy 2 special editions of Windows 8 DSP which includes theme packs for Yu or Ai, as well as the accompanying sounds. Furthermore, in the Akihabara shopping district one can by a limited edition of these versions of Windows 8 DSP that include extra voices not contained in the regular Yu & Ai editions, as well as the Microsoft Wedge Mouse included will have an illustration on it of either Yu or Ai.


Other Renditions

Though Yu & Ai are the mascots used in Windows 8, theyre not the only ones! There's not many but a few fan made ones have surfaced in the fandom, such as a few from our very own users in the Os-tan collection forums, as well as a comic strip that oddly depicted 8-tan as a film director.
