That would be hilarious. I’m sure they could do a lot of things with it that would really get people laughing, but it’s really a matter of how much time it’s worth spending on it.

Very clever. Now, of course, Microsoft will file a lawsuit.

I still remember the first time I saw clippy in Microsoft Office, the first thing I did was go to the internet and find a way to disable it. The method I found was to rename the directory called “Actors” to “dead Actors”. Once that was done no more clippy.
