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

                      It wasn't crippling. Besides, it wasn't malware.

                          Doesn't make it MALware though.

                                      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.

                                        One could argue that anything that appears as malware... Is.
