I've heard the same thing, she was always the one behind all the animated characters...and during her stint as project manager of Microsoft Bob, she was introduced to Bill and later became Mrs. Gates.....

The story I heard was that Melinda Gates likes (or liked) cutesy animated characters. That's why they keep popping up in MS products, despite being nearly universally loathed. The Bob fiasco, Clippy and friends in MS Office, and that stupid dog in MS Win XP's file search. I dunno if it's true or not, but it's Friday, and a good rumor should get everyone in the right mindset for the Superbowl(TM). ;-) -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
