Anyone had the same impression as me, the "clippie" bears some resemblance to BG himself (AND looks is though he's "on" something, when the jiving starts ... )?
Clippy has some even more annoying firends in the shape of Microsoft agents http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/default.asp
(warning I don't think you can easily uninstall these)
This was a (now failed I hope) attempt to bring clippy style help (but with text to speech and speech to text) to third party applications (you can even script agent actions from a web page)
Once interesting thing I have just found on that site is that Bonzi Buddy is listed as an agent enabled application........I am sure I remember Bonzi Buddy being pretty closely tied to Spyware/Malware in the past.
