Microsoft Killed Clippy

You b@$tards!

Friday, February 9, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

The day has finally come, no longer will you have a friendly paper clip constantly offering to help make your document creating experience better.  No more will you see a bouncing piece of bent metal with googly eyes bouncing at the corner of your screen, begging you to let it help fix the formatting, or suggest a particular word.  Clippy, the Microsoft Office Assistant, has been put to rest.  His smiling visage will no longer greet us when writing a letter.  The Microsoft Office team confirmed that with 2007, Clippy is officially done and gone.  Starting life in 1997 with Office 97, he was a constant annoyance to document users for nearly a full decade.

App Scout has an interview with the Office Group Program Manager at Microsoft to chat a bit about the timely demise of one of the most annoying "features" ever to be added to Office. 

Clippy, 1997 - 2007.  RIP
