15 years old today, and still as annoying as ever.
What's funny about Bob is that it was introduced back in the day when most of the technical press still treated Microsoft's announcements with some level of respect.
Of course, some of us who lived in a world of elm, vi, and rn looked on this with a mixture of horror and contempt even then. Watch, and you'll feel precisely what we felt back then.

"Bill Gates Rain Man", heh.

I have heard a vicious rumor that "Bob" was Melinda Gates' project at MS (prior to marrying the boss). I have always wondered if that was true.
