Planning documents for "Scout" say the plan is to "make people addicted" to the tool before adding new features.

    You forgot clippy, but everyone forgets about clippy unless it’s in this exact context. Or it’s Norfolk wizard game.

      What about Microsoft Bob? Doesn’t that count as their first attempt?

        Clippy was basically an upgraded Bob kinda like how the old Jeep Cherokees are just upgraded Jeep Wagoneers.

          Yeah “but not as annoying” lol. No idea what you mean about jeeps: I’m in the UK, and not a car enthusiast either.

            The Cherokee and Wagoneer aren’t distinguishable at first glance, the Cherokee was just an upgraded Wagoneer. That was my point Clippy was just an upgraded Bob with new coat of paint.
