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.
