The office assistant was an optional feature. If you didn't want it you
didn't have to use it. I agree they took away the one fun thing on my work
computer.

Too many stuffed shirts out there--a former supervisor mandated that all of
his people (me included) had to turn off the assistants--'not proper for the
atmosphere here' which is a load--I just liked scribble to animate while I
was on the phone. Guess it appeared I was having fun or something!

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. ;-)

That's too bad. Scribbles kept me company. :-(
