Actually, they did ask - or they tried to anyway. :-)
For Office 2003 they created an opt-in Customer Experience Improvement
Program which tracked the commands used, settings, setup, etc. They took the
data they obtained from CEIP and used it to make various decisions about
Office 2007, such as which features they should focus on improving. CEIP
determined most users turn Clippy and his buddies off so they retired him.

Why do all the neat, fun things disappear. I liked the office
agents/assistants.
Microsoft sure didn't ask my opinion before they retired the guys. ;-)
