It reminds me of clippy...

I was hoping they'd reference clipping in the presentation today. After they talked about "Cortana" appearing randomly on your desktop and in IE, all I could think of was "it looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help? Get help typing the letter. Just type the letter without help." every... single... time...

I really hope this isn't another Clippy. If "Cortana" gets annoying I'm totally figuring out how to add the Clippy graphic to the UI and rename her "Clippy" (I bet you can personalise the name). Which, after thinking about it, I might try to do anyway just because it would be amusing...

Exactly what I thought. I know that virtual assistance is hot right now, but this seems like a bit much.
