Yes…perhaps it is time for me to upgrade to Windows 7…

For those who don’t know, that’s Nanami Madobe, Windows 7′s official mascot character voiced by Nana Mizuki. The Nanami Madobe customization theme has been available in the Japanese premium sets of the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition operating system.

DK says: Sadly Nanami is only available with the Japanese region of Windows 7. I suppose if we’re willing to do some sort of crash course in the language, this might be an option.

I do like that Nanami is the first OS-tan-esque character to be featured as an official mascot. I suppose ME-tan is too embarrassing for Microsoft.

Also because I know some people might be wondering, the storekeeper in the video is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa.

    Notice the pun between Windows “7″ and “Nana”mi. Nana is seven in Japanese.

    HOW COME I DON'T HAVE THIS THEME? Me want for my Windows 7!

    Yep…likely the reason they chose Nana Mizuki to voice it as well…Madobe apparently means “by the window”…

    Some guy had already ported it over for the English version of the OS (In hongfire if my memory is not wrong).

    Heard some people was annoyed by the constant “Chan chan chan” sound during processing LOL
