Mutt mistake

“Rover” guided users through Bob's features in ways that the video hopefully shows were clearly re-used once Clippy appeared in the Office suite.

Rover the Useless Pooch was featured in Windows XP search window.

Office 97 had altogether different flea bag: Power Pup, The Caped Mongrel.

Both equally useless, but the Office assistants were WAY more infuriating.
