Users: We are putting our PFP as clippy because it symbolises a time where software worked locally and just wanted to help without spying on you.
Microsoft: wow they love that lil clippy fella let's make co pilot into a piss blob that floats around the screen spouting random facts its learnt from surveiling the users every move. It will be like their own personal FBI agent they will love it.
"The internet used to talk all the tike about how they love their personal fbi agents"
I'm still not sure if Microsoft just doesn't get it or if they just love making stuff nobody wants... but then again, nobody wanted clippy back then either. I'm not sure Mico will age as gracefully as Clippy did, though.
I guess in a perfect world companies like MS or Google would get fined for wasting so many resources on shit they shut down a year later. Not saying Mico is gonna be one of those things of course, I would never!
