All I know is that although it didn't work so good as win 8.1 phone, that the old tp worked, albeit without cortana, but now, all I get is spinning gears on my little lumia...

Oooh! My NAUGHTY SKIRT keeps riding up! Hello, INTERNET EXPLORER

I have to admit, looks like they've noted the market they want and actually tailored the marketing... and a quick deconstruction of the visuals shows that they've got a nice set of automated assumptions that should attract the attention of purchasers in japan - we have the inevitable "nekkid flash" but the (aiui) cultural context for japan would indicate M$ has said "the product is pure and decent and you love this (you don't get naked transforms without purity. weird I know) it's neatly encapsulated that their product multitabs massively and simply, (and people are still using ie6...) it automatically protects against virii and other attacks, and is a product for everyone (secret identity)

it's not a bad piece of marketing, and as people have said repeatedly, os-tan's are far from new.
