Did you know that one Microsoft Office Assistant wasn't named what you probably think it was?

It was named 'Clippit'.

Okay yeah sure, it might as well be the common nickname, Clippy, because that's what everyone says anyway. Hell, Microsoft's twitter account called the damn thing Clippy even last year. I just haven't seen anyone else point this out before (maybe this is more common knowledge than I thought? Or it's probably because who cares, honestly? (Me, I guess, because I'm writing this crap)).

I wager it's because most people don't know. Due to the friend of Microsoft Bob's reputation for showing up uninvited and unhelpfully, most people never got further than turning it off quick as they could, so they never read its name or bio.
