I swear I read somewhere that Clippy actually did have spyware in it. But I can't find the source anymore. I thought it was on Hacker News within the last 2 years or so, some Microsoft retrospective on building MS Office.

Not Clippy itself, but Office already had usage telemetry in 2003. Whether that's spyware or not is debatable.
