Today I found out that Microsoft made a promotional campaign for Office XP about how the Office Assistant would no longer be necessary because the program was more "easy to use" than ever. They made animations and a song about Clippy being unemployed (and wanting to return), thought he was just off by default. This is one of the images from the official website:
