Unlike Linux, Windows does not have an official mascot or logo character. Windows has gone through several logo and branding changes over the years, but none of them have featured a specific mascot or character like Tux.
In the early days of Windows, the operating system used a simple logo consisting of a multi-colored window pane with the word "Windows" written underneath. This logo was used from Windows 1.0 in 1985 until Windows 3.1 in 1992.
Starting with Windows 95 in 1995, Microsoft introduced a new logo that featured a waving flag in front of a stylized window. This logo was used until the introduction of Windows XP in 2001, which used a simplified version of the flag logo.
Since then, Microsoft has used various logos and branding elements for different versions of Windows, but none of them have included a specific mascot or character. Instead, the branding for Windows has focused on features and functionality, as well as promoting the Windows brand as a whole.
In recent years, Microsoft has introduced a new brand called Windows 10X, which is designed for dual-screen devices like the Surface Duo. It remains to be seen whether this brand will include a specific mascot or character, but as of now, Windows does not have an official mascot like Tux.
The Windows mascot, or more specifically, the Windows logo, is one of the most recognizable symbols in the tech world. The logo was introduced with the first version of Windows in 1985 and has undergone several revisions over the years.
The original Windows logo was designed by graphic designer Susan Kare and featured a blue, green, and yellow windowpane motif. The logo has since been updated several times, with the most recent version being a simplified white window pane on a blue square.
Unlike some other tech companies, Microsoft has not really had a consistent "mascot" for Windows, although there have been occasional characters associated with specific promotions or campaigns. For example, in 2014, Microsoft introduced a character named "Ninja Cat" as a playful representation of Windows 10.
The Windows logo itself remains the most recognizable symbol associated with the operating system. Windows 10 uses the same logo as Windows 8. Below is the Windows 11 logo. Windows 9 never existed. Its just a joke logo with Bill Gates peeking in, LOL.
I guess Bill Gates could be considered Windows official mascot!
