Well, Clippy is still present.

Here over at the Evil Empire, using Office XP (by mandate) I hit F1 to trigger help to figure out how to do something. What should pop up, but Ye Evil Olde Clippy, bane of help users everywhere.

I thought they gave him the ax for XP, but I guess I was wrong... Sigh.

It now takes two clicks to get rid of Office Assistants for good.

Clippy's revenge!

He's still there, but you must not have done a "custom install" to remove the Office Assistant. I think it was all a big marketing ploy to confuse people into thinking that XP stood for eX-Papperclip. :)

Meaning of XP

Heard on the local radio station, by a well respected talk show host, that XP stands for eXtra Profit.

Nah

XP stands for eXtra Profit.

With the licensing and upgrade protection schemes they've got in the works, I'd call it eXtortion Program.

You got it wrong

It stands for eXtra Penetration, for when all the violators get sent to the federal pen.
