Back before the Office XP launch, MS had a spoof site on ol' Clippy.

I never have those things on, in fact the only time he ever showed up was to piss off and annoy the hell out of me

Only thing worse is the 'puppy' in the XP search.

What do they estimate the average age of the XP Pro user to be? 5?

Clippy == fun at first but then incredibly annoying. I never install the MS Agent along with Office anymore (my parents miss him, though ;)).
Bonzai Buddy == spyware, adware, disgusting as ****, immediately installed from any computer which I come into contact with that has that POS loaded on it.

I hate that stupid little paper clip. Hit F1 and waste 10 minutes waiting for that stupid thing and the help search to load, then click it all to close.
