Marketing people at MS:
What should we name this virtual assistant? How about Cortana? What’s a Cortana? It’s that assistant from Halo, it’s like Clippy but with boobs.

Clippy never had a voice and tbh the one that comes to mind for him is not very easy on the ears. Like downpitched spongebob.

Clippy’s voice is the shrieks of bending metal, but on too small a scale to be heard by human ears.
