Clip this

Do y’all remember Clippy™? That “intelligent” office assistant that got up the noses of users around the world so badly that Microsoft killed him—twice?

Well, they’ve sneaked Clippy back in via Office365.

Here he is in Outlook:

Listen—I don’t need anyone to tell me I have a lot of meetings, thankyouverymuch.

And—as for this:

What does that even mean? Why are you telling me this? I only just this instant opened the meeting booking page—don’t you think I know I haven’t sent the invitation yet?

I can’t believe they got any customer feedback saying, “Hey—I want you to spend developer time building inane messaging to clutter up your apps.”

I just can’t.
