Maybe you could incorporate it into a version of ms office from that era as well. You could even give it an anthropomorphised personality embodied by a skeuomorphic element of irl office supplies more common in that era, like a rubber band… or… a… paperclip…

  Bob looks an awful lot like Bill Gates.

Good idea :) Clippy is Office 97 and later though, so I'll need to make a version that fits in with the Windows 95/98 (or even Windows Me) look!

  MS Agent would be a perfect fit for that. It's basically Clippy as a Windows API. It even includes speech synthesis. IIRC it ships with Windows 2000, but works on Windows 95 too.
