Tesseract Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Yeah, it was supposed to be the interface to replace the one we currently use. IOW, we would be using an agent character not only in Office, but in Windows itself. Thankfully, the idea was scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deryck Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 It was okay, wired to see a car in a room through a customised version of the Microsoft BOB interface:D. The whole site was interesting to look at, with its comprehensive articles and screenshots to nearly every Microsoft Windows operating system that Microsoft had produced.

Vic Viper Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 You could try eBay.. I remember seeing a few copies on sale a few months ago.. On another note, if you check out this screenshot.. http://toastytech.com/guis/bobhome1.gif That dog looks like the precursor to the one they use in XP..

aaron901 Posted April 5, 2002 Author Share Posted April 5, 2002 is there a dog in xp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Viper Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Yes there is.. I'm sure most of us have turned it off by now.. but if you click start and go to search, if you have the animated characters on, you should see that dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 That Dog in the search function was very annoying, in fact, I did not get to grips with the Microsoft Windows XP Search facility, so I switched back to the Classic search, much faster for me.
