On the list of the most hated characters of all time, Microsoft Clippy ranks right near the top sharing space with the likes of Jar Jar Binks, Barney the Dinosaur, and Pikachu. Well, today is the day you’ve all been waiting for, as engadget reports that Clippy is no longer a part of the Microsoft Office family, which ends a glorius 10 year life. Once the forefront for annoying and inconvenient helpful advice for Microsoft’s entire office line, in recent years Clippy was relegated from his role as a starter to a mere second string bench player (in fact he was not even turned on by default in Office 2003). While he may be gone, he will never be forgotten and perhaps one day we can look back fondly on the memories of our fallen friend. RIP Clippy…
