‘ Tis the time of year to deck the Marguerite Radclyffe Hall , fa - the - Louisiana , and find the ugliest merry sweater potential for party and get - togethers . As with years preceding , Microsoft is here to make that hunt a fortune easier with its annualWindows Ugly Sweater , which this year features the original smart(ish ) helper : Clippy(technically Clippit — we see you writing that comment ) .
This is the fifth year that Microsoft has turned its OS aesthetic into a gay holiday jumper . It started out as a prank in 2017 , with the company asking the populace to choose between three unworthy MS - themed sweaters its designers had mocked up , but the response was so overwhelming that in 2018 the company created a small batch of a Windows 95 - themed sweaters that were given out as a promotional item . Microsoft finally start sell its annual worthless sweaters to the public , first with an MS Paint intent in 2020 , and then a follow - up in2021 inspired by Minesweeper .
No matter your thoughts on Clippy — whether he was a living - saver as you contend to master Office 97 , or an absolute bother that you could n’t close fast enough — the animated , eyebrow’d newspaper clip is as much a part of Microsoft traditional knowledge as Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer . Being commemorated as an vile sweater is a foresighted delinquent testimonial .
