I am so amused by microsoft's decision to double down on their lovely desktop/mobile frankenstein OS. It will never be acceptable to have 2 versions of every app on your system. Steve Jobs was right.

According to a report by research firm BCN, the market share of Microsoft Windows tablets in Japan suddenly rose to 15% during the calendar year of 2013—a five-fold increase over the previous year—and that no such trend is occurring anywhere else outside Japan; this rise is partially attributed to the inability to properly play Kantai Collection on Android devices, the largest competitor to Windows tablet devices in Japan.

Set in a world where humanity has lost control of the oceans to the "deep sea fleet," the only hope to counter this threat are the Kanmusu, a group of girls who possess the spirit of Japanese warships. The story revolves around Fubuki, a destroyer who comes to the Chinjufu base to train with other Kanmusu. Watch as their stories unfold!

at this point i think the anime with the thong and the miniskirt from kancolle (trap so loving sprung) would probably be a less fanservice-y mascot than naked cyber boob lady cortana

not by much, mind

but, you know, baby steps. at least that one is nominally clothed.

worse than that its not even a sense of humor, its just bulk copying of 'eat up martha' that apple used as a rallying cry, but since nobody wants to use ms products ms had to substitute their own blown demo
