- AssProphet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38Whatever man... clippy is a generational icon. He represents progress and innovation. Finally I can get some work done in linux.
Now where's my search puppy!! - Garda, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33NOOO! what have they done
People move to Linux, not because of its stability, low cost, or because it's open source.
They make the switch to get away from Clippy!
He's like a leech that just won't come off. - vashmyvindows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Actually Clippy can suggest common formatting for sarcasm and humor

- Ancient news
- A parody of clippy
- A constant reminder to Microsoft that there little gimmicks are horrifically obnoxious
Let's go ahead and bring these things up on a regular basis and never let Microsoft forget how much the piss people off--turning us into raving FOSS maniacs. - Serinox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7heh this is from http://userfriendly.org/

I stuck it in a Group Policy for someone I didn't like. I still have the trouble ticket he submitted complete with screen shots. - abstractstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I think it's for *vi* (a text editor), not linux in general. Funny though :)
- offput, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's a joke people... it's like watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8He represents all that is evil and unholy in this world.

@TigonLiger I used Winstall LE http://www.softpile.com/Utilities/Miscellaneous/Review_16745_index.html
which comes in Win2K Advanced server. It's really easy. You could also just add it to the login.bat and point to a network drive (which is probably easier) - Tanath, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ Xilon:
-->--> [joke]
[your head] - Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"Linux to support USB soon!"
Uhh... how is that funny? Windows has USB support... doesn't it? - pauldonnelly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0That's because the apple never falls far from the tree.
- macewan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1if only someone could port the ability Windows has in absorbing virus and worm software. for that matter we'll also need someone to look into port the BSoD warning system currently used by the Windows masses.
