| Nostalgic for Clippy? Meet Mico, the human face of Copilot |
|---|
| Those of a certain age will remember Clippy, the irritating animated paper clip which tried to dispense software (and life) advice. It seems Microsoft liked the idea, because they've now created Mico as the human face of Copilot. |

Is the resemblance to a sun coincidental?
Mico is, naturally, fully animated - here's a flavour:
Mico is only appearing in the US at the moment, but it will doubtless be appearing on a screen near you soon.
