To say all eyes are on Copilot, and how it’ll be implemented, is an understatement ( check out this recent leak for the latest gossip).ĪI is very much the future of Windows 11, or rather, next-gen Windows – that and shifting to the cloud (and maybe a subscription model) – so we don’t expect Copilot will be consigned to the bin in short order, as was the fate of Clippy (and indeed Bob).
(Microsoft promised this would happen in June, but that looks like a bust at this point). This new take on Clippy for Windows 11 is clearly a tongue-in-cheek move ahead of the inbound Copilot AI which should go into testing in the relatively near future. Like Clippy, Bob turned into something of a joke in the computing community, and was a concept swiftly abandoned by Microsoft. You may recall that Bob was an attempt to make the interface of Windows 95 (and Windows 3.1 before that) more user-friendly by turning it into a cutesy representation of a house. Download WhatsApp on your mobile device, tablet or desktop and stay connected on across your devices, so you can pick up any conversation where you left off. As noted by the dev, this is one of the most pressing known issues for the application, and FireCube is working on a way around this that’ll hopefully be implemented soon enough.įurther work promised in the near future is the ability to drag and resize Clippy, and FireCube aims to bring more classic characters into the mix alongside the paperclip – like Microsoft Bob. If you haven’t paid for one of those, you won’t be able to fire up Clippy. So, stability is likely to be somewhat wonky for the time being, we’d imagine.Ī further sticking point is that an OpenAI key is required to use this preview version of the Clippy app. To give you some perspective on where we’re at with this app, Clippy for the desktop was put on Github only a couple of days ago, with the developer FireCube observing that there are still issues with random crashes. Analysis: A paperclip that needs some polish
