A cartoon dog named Rover and other cartoon characters provided guidance using speech balloons Rover and a few others managed to later make their way back in Windows XP as "Search Companions"
Microsoft Bob was greatly criticized in the press, did not gain wide acceptance with users, and was neither a successful nor long-lived product
