Microsoft Windows (Windows for short) is a series of Operating systems produced by Microsoft. It is used globally on personal computers and it seems to be the most populist operating system in the world.

There has been many versions of Windows, such as Windows 98 (not to be confused with the PC-98), Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Windows 7 is their latest edition with Windows 8 in development and will be released in two years.

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was the first Touhou game developed for this platform, which was able to play on the 98, SE, ME, 2000 and the XP. Shuusou Gyoku was technically the first game for this platform, but it wasn't directly created by ZUN. All the games from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (Touhou 6) all the way to Ten Desires (Touhou 13) was made entirely for this platform. They are distinguished from "the PC-98 games" (from Touhou 1 to 5) for Team Shanghai Alice having been branched off from Amusement Makers.

Additional Information

Name and Concept

  • "Microsoft Windows" in Japanese is マイクロソフト ウィンドウズ (ro. Maikurosofuto u~indouzu). For "Windows" it is ウィンドウズ (U~indouzu). It is in katakana since it came from America.
  • This platform was a fresh start for ZUN as he never had to use 16-bit color graphics anymore, as he didn't like it, and that he was able to use better graphics and music.

Trivia

Fandom

  • Among the fan community, the term "the Windows games" refers specifically to the games shown above.
  • Windows characters are seen separated from the PC-98 characters by many fans (Excluding the ones that returned).
  • An unofficial tool exists to convert the .wav music of all games with ZUN's involvement to .ogg and patch the games to read from those files in order to save disk space.
