Microsoft revives “Clippy” as a sticker for Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Office users in the 1990s likely have less-than-kind memories of “Clippit,” also known as “Clippy,” one of the assistants introduced in Microsoft Office 1997. SEE: Policy pack: Guidelines for remote workers (Tech Pro Research)
Now, the Microsoft Office team has revived Clippy as an app to provide animated Clippy stickers in chats in Microsoft Teams, the Slack competitor bundled with Microsoft Office 365. Microsoft originally depended on Teams as value-add for Office 365 subscriptions, which initially caused problems, as organizations could not add individual users to Teams without purchasing a full Office 365 license for that user, complicating the addition of temporary and freelance workers.
