Rover was an option when introduced in "Microsoft Bob", but then later became the default search companion in XP's file search. Also, we have Rover to blame for Comic Sans: > Microsoft graphic designer Vincent Connare designed the typeface Comic Sans when he noticed that Rover's speech was displayed in Times New Roman, which he felt was inappropriate for a cartoon dog.
