    Not completely getting it(the 9 thing I understood), I discovered that this girl is Windows 10's mascot. And that in Japan, apparently MS products since 7 have officially supported anthropomorphizations of their platforms. And apparently IE and Silverlight.

    I'm so confused. Why is an Windows an anime girl instead of an animal?

    Yeah this has happened for ages. In Japan Microsoft uses anime style characters for advertising proposes. This was the case with xp as well I believe.

    Seeing as anime is a popular part of culture over there particularly I don't see why you as a company wouldn't want to take advantage of it.
