Windows 7 Multitouch Girl?

by Mike Abundo on May 30th, 2008

With Windows 7 supporting multitouch, you have to wonder what its OS-tan will look like. OS-tans — Japanese fan mascots for various operating systems — take the form of cute anime girls with characteristics representative of their respective OSes. 2000-tan is businesslike, XP-tan is bouncy, etc.

If Windows 7 features multitouch, will its OS-tan be a girl you can touch all over? Will she be a grabby nymhpo, an archetype quite common in anime? Will she be a touchy temptress, slowly caressing herself while seductively splayed upon a Microsoft Surface? Discuss.
