Those searching for the most\u00a0ostentatious sweater to annoy their friends and relatives with would do well with this bright blue and green Windows version wishing onlookers a \u201cHappy Holidays!\u201d followed by an \u201cOk\u201d that you can\u2019t click on.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s available for\u00a0$74.99 at the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fgear.xbox.com%2Fpages%2Fwindows&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">company\u2019s\u00a0Xbox Gear Shop<\/a>, and before you balk at the price and click the little \u201cX,\u201d know that all proceeds will be donated to the College Success Foundation, alongside a $100,000 donation from Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the people really paying a price will be those about to bite into their turkey and hear that one uncle joke, \u201cLooks like you\u2019re about to eat turkey. Can I help with that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has been getting into the ugly holiday sweater <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> for five years now. It began as a stunt in 2017 when the company posted three made-up MS-themed ugly sweaters and asked the public to choose their favorite. But the massive response was no joke.<\/p>\n<p>So in 2018 Microsoft created some\u00a0Windows 95-themed sweaters as part of a small brand promotion, and then later began selling the sweaters to the public, beginning with a MS Paint design in 2020, followed by a Minesweeper one in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Office 97, Clippy has been killed off and resurrected about as often as a comic book character. Public sentiment is often split. Some saw the wiry, Groucho-looking paperclip as an annoying uninvited guest to a Word document, and others as a helping hand, without the hand part. Clippy never evolved hands.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, you can be that bastion of help and\/or irritation by donning one this holiday season, but don\u2019t be surprised if it gets you dishes duty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
