Yep. You read right.
Some of you might have heard of the fan made OS -Tans (mascots for the operating systems).
Microsoft has actually made several official mascots already (http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/7/5076356/microsoft-anime-character-photo-essay). Madobe Nanami for Windows 7 and Madobe Yuu & Ai for Windows 8 -to name a few.
Well now IE got one too.
Inori Aizawa.

They actually made a ~2min anime for her aswell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHTUlF7NA2o
And a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/internetexplorertan
I gotta admit, the 2min thingie was full of clishés but still thought it was fun :)
And the character herself is kind of cute.

Cute
But instead of fighting random robots I would rather see her do battle with firefox and chrome-tan :p

I'm waiting for other browsers to follow suit, then we can have a super sentai show.
Also, season 1 (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D7B761207D6D12EE&id=D7B761207D6D12EE!117&authkey=!AIYLauJWRZbOe6Y#cid=D7B761207D6D12EE&id=D7B761207D6D12EE!117&authkey=!AIYLauJWRZbOe6Y)?

Yea that "Season 1" mark brings questions... hopefully it means that they're gonna make some more animated features and/or other material. I wouldn't mind.

firefox is already most of the way there with it's logo, Google could easily adapt its logo into something robotic. just leaves opera really lol
edit
I really want that backing track
-
chrome-tan is a completely unanthropomorphic chrome logo (the spherical version, not the recent stylised ones)
would watch
-
hmm...the video was epic but the comments made my night.
-
Here I read the thread title and thought it was likely a dodo bird.
-
I thought it would be an paperclip.
-
This is all so very very far away from what I would have expected.
-
Anyone tried to install this (https://www.facebook.com/internetexplorertan/app_1422641071287146) yet?
Apart from setting IE's homepage to www.internetexplorertan.com/home/ I can't seem to find any difference.

Well so far there isn't much more difference. Time will tell if they will make a more complete theme with voices, if at all.

This has the possibility of becoming a hentai. I don't think you'd see the linux penguin ****ing the blonde IE girl. But, you'd probably see an animated bill gates go at it.
-
rule 34 business again? I guess I know, but I really don't want to know, need another dose of brain bleach

There's probably already a website dedicated to that.
-
Well looks like someone at Pixiv was already "hard" at work for that, it wasn't even tagged as 18+ work.
Other than that she has had mainly cute fanart so far, which is nice. Not that many yet ofcourse.
-
I've seen everything.
The end is near.

Isn't it nice to be (positively perhaps) surprised?
In all honesty though, I've been aware of their other mascots for a long time but this did surprise me too.
Just keep 'em coming MS, there's not enough cute and fluffiness in the world yet.
-
Positive surprises are lovely.
But this is kind of a strange surprise. Not good or bad. Just unexpected.
-
Maybe Firefox will get a new fox girl mascot
-
Kitsune no doubt.
