if you look closely, Fido, the little dog Assistant in this screencap looks an awful lot like the little search companion in Windows XP. Microsoft Bob, a nice try with making a simple yet dumbed down user interface for days when folks were shy about using a computer (my how times have changed!). remnants of Microsoft Bob resurfacing as well as failing again here's the Not Top Three from my experience:īonziBuddy, that little purple gorilla that harbored a nasty little Trojan horse and changed your search provider, told bad jokes, and reminded everyone of another failing, Microsoft Office 97's Clippy the Office Assistant, both which used Microsoft Agent (Actor in older builds).
Old memories of past computing mistakes we all can look back upon and laugh.
