On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

Unfortunately Clippy would get randomly re-enabled, like all microsoft zombies, after an update. You never knew when it would come back to insult your intelligence.

OMG it’s been going on for decades now. That’s not a bug at this point — that’s a feature.
