The problem is not Clippy. It's not Windopws (sic) either, although that piece
of software has its own many problems because the Chief Architect ignored
decades of learning in the UNIX world. The real problem here is a corrupt
company that stands behind everything. Not only does it aggressively sabotage
the workings of their rivals, but it also wants total control over the user.
In a talk that RMS gave a couple of days ago he explained that people hate
Microsoft for the wrong reasons. Their crime aside, it's the vanity that leads
to total control over the consumer which is inherently dangerous and evil.
