'Clippy' Lives On

Microsoft has created a parody Web site around the life and times of 'Clippy,' the quirky Microsoft Agent Office Assistant. Due to the functionality in Office XP, Microsoft does not feel it is necessary for Clippy to assist users anymore. In short, Clippy is now obsolete and may require job re-training. Visitors to the Web site can vote on his fate, view his resume (even he needs one now), check out his to-do list, watch a video edited by Gilbert Gottfried (who else could bring the Clippy persona to life?), and even play a game with Clippy. Although, I am sure that Clippy does not find dodging staples to be very entertaining. For a laugh, read about and vote on Clippy’s fate at officeclippy.com.
