The feature drew a strongly negative response from many users.[4][5] Microsoft turned off the feature by default in Office XP, acknowledging its unpopularity in an ad campaign spoofing Clippy.[6] The feature was removed altogether in Office 2007 and Office 2008 for Mac, as it continued to draw criticism even from Microsoft employees. gone longer than he’s been around, which puts ‘lol clippy lol’ on par with “Why doesn’t MTV play music videos anymore?” but... 2005 - giving a PowerPoint to a hundred people with a projector and an audio setup for embedded video. Clippy pops up five minutes into the talk and ‘taps’ on the screen. You can get in early and have VGA cables in hand, and make sure the audio all works and is set to a proper volume for the room, and do everything right and then FAAAAAAAAARRRTTTTTT

quote:According to Alan Cooper, the "Father of Visual Basic," the concept of Clippit was based on a "tragic misunderstanding" of research conducted at Stanford University, showing that the same part of the brain in use while using a mouse or keyboard was also responsible for emotional reactions while interacting with other human beings and thus is the reason people yell at their computer monitors.[7] Microsoft concluded that if humans reacted to computers the same way they react to other humans, it would be beneficial to include a human-like face in their software.[8] As people already related to computers directly as they do with humans, the added human-like face emerged as an annoying interloper distracting the user from the primary conversation. i'm the tragic misunderstanding
