The Story of Microsoft Agent & Actor (Microsoft Bob 2.0, Clippit, BonziBUDDY, etc) [CONDENSED]

Описание: Special shoutout to MSBob.org for the only known Bob 2.0 screenshots! Here's every discovery so far we've documented about the lost Bob 2.0: https://agentpedia.tmafe.com/wiki/Mic...

This is a condensed video on the history of Microsoft Agent and its predecessor Microsoft Actor, where I tried my best to condense everything (there's a lot!) as much as possible to be in this story-form video (who knows I could make a long form one in the future that is in the same format but uses multiple slides for each one)! I apologize if its bit weird at some parts, as this is my first time using an editor that isn't Windows Movie Maker, and I tried to mainly cover the important bits!

This video goes over Microsoft Actor, including Microsoft Bob 1.0 and Microsoft Bob 2.0, Microsoft Greetings Workshop, and some leftovers. Then, it goes into Microsoft Agent Beta, MS Agent Beta 2 & 3, MS Agent 1.5, MS Agent 2.0, then three big controversies (BillG, BonziBUDDY, Clippit/Office Assistant) that MS Agent has experienced before discussing the discontinuations and the sites that have gone done within the past decade as a result, before circling to the modern era!

Soundtrack used:
Windows XP Tour Music (all 3 audio clips!)
