Microsoft is bringing Clippy back - in an entirely new place

Microsoft is planning to bring Clippy, its Office 97 assistant that looks like a paperclip, back to Windows. The software giant tweeted a photo of Clippy saying that, if the post received 20,000 likes, it would replace the paperclip emoji in Microsoft Office with Clippy. At time of writing, the tweet has nearly 134,000 likes. Clippy infamously offered support in Microsoft Word and other programs, such as Microsoft Publisher, but by 2008 the assistant was killed. Windows 10, Microsoft's current operating system, uses Cortana as its virtual assistant – a name taken from the Halo game franchise.
