It was annoying as heck. He tried to predict your activities. Office 2000 was the last version of him I think.

It was so horrible. So useless and in the way.

It really crippled Office.

It wasn't crippling. Besides, it wasn't malware.
It was crippling and drove people to OpenOffice at the time.
Malware is anything that disrupts computer operations which was clippy by intent and actuality.

It's real name was Clippit, the MS Office Assistant.

Not likely IMO since most of your visitors are techs and probably remember Clippy or at least references to him. It was just a fun idea, though. Maybe you could do it for one day
