Clippy never sold my data. Clippy never forced me to update when I didn't have time. Clippy never advertised things to me. Clippy never lied to me. Clippy didn't take hundreds of watts of power to provide incorrect answers.

Clippy was an assistant, built to help me solve problems I didn't understand, and built to help computer illiterate people use their computers more effectively and was made out of genuine expressions of making their product better for more people.
