Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tan, or "OS-tan", is Claudia Madobe (クラウディア・窓辺), the official Japanese mascot for Microsoft Azure!

Claudia made her debut on May 23, 2011 in *Cloud Girl – Windows, Clouds and Blue Sky* (クラウド ガール -窓と雲と碧い空-), a webcomic released by Microsoft Japan to introduce and explain cloud technology. She was designed by Wakaba, the same artist behind Nanami Madobe. Though she is not an OS some people may group her with them anyway.

Claudia is an experienced Windows Azure developer with a master’s degree in engineering and over two years of practical development experience.

She excels in cloud computing and can sometimes come across as a little superior to beginners, but she’s always willing to teach and share her expertise. She often collaborates with her Madobe cousins, Nanami, Yū, and Ai in promotional events and campaigns as well as with her colleague, Ruri Azumi and is voiced by Eri Kitamura.

Hello #Fediverse, today’s OS-tans are two members of the Madobe family: Yū Madobe (窓辺ゆう) and Ai Madobe (窓辺あい), the Windows 8 and 8.1 mascots in Japan!

Yū and Ai debuted in Japan in 2012 as part of the Windows 8 Pro DSP Commemorative Packs created by Windows Navi+. These packs included exclusive system sounds and wallpapers

The sisters share a birthdate of November 18, 1996. Both are the same height at 152 cm, which is 8 cm shorter than Nanami, but their personalities set them apart.

Both sisters struggle with sports but excelled in tech. Their voices were provided by talented actresses Asuka Nishi (Yū) and Nao Tamura (Ai), who even sang together in promotional tracks like *Whatever the Future Holds*.

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is Nanami Madobe (窓辺ななみ), the official mascot for Windows 7 in Japan! She’s one of the most well-known OS-tans to many people.

A Twitter account dedicated to her was created on September 14, 2009, to share Windows 7 updates, while her first official appearance came shortly after. On September 24, 2009, it was revealed that Nanami was part of a special Windows 7 Ultimate promotional bundle, limited to 7,777 preorders. This exclusive set included system sounds and wallpapers.

Born on April 6, Nanami is depicted as a first-year college student from a tech-savvy family with a father and brother who are PC enthusiasts. Despite being inexperienced, she was roped into working part-time at a computer parts shop when Windows 7 debuted.

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of Mutsumi Madobe, a lesser-known member of the Madobe family and a personification of Windows Vista! Mutsumi is portrayed as the older sister of Nanami Madobe who represents Windows 7, though her origins could be seen as quite unique compared to other OS-tans.

Mutsumi first appeared through tweets made from Nanami’s Twitter account beginning on October 3, 2009. While she was never officially used for promotional campaigns, she did show up in some Madobe Family Trees included with official merchandise. On special occasions like April Fool’s Day 2010, she “took over” tweeting duties, using the hashtag #6me.

Unlike Nanami she has no official artwork but on April 20, 2010 the artist Sappappa designed an unofficial interpretation of her based on her tweets. This fan-made depiction gained enough popularity to inspire derivative artwork.

Mutsumi’s design and character reflect her connection to Vista. She’s a little taller than Nanami and is often noted for her larger bust, perhaps showing Vista’s higher memory demands compared to Windows 7 (the same case with XP Pro-tan). She loves eating gyudon and prefers to skip outdated software in favor of new releases: a subtle nod to the compatibility struggles that Vista faced during its time.

There was even a joke site made for her you can find here: http://www.t1500.com/april/2014/
