Microsoft released the hotly-anticipated Windows 10 operating system on Wednesday, and amid the strong PR push to encourage users to adopt the new operating system, the company brought out a trusty mascot from yesteryear.

Clippy, the lovable but annoying mascot from the early days of Microsoft Office, visited comedian Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show" on Thursday to promote Windows 10. After Fallon said how much he loved Windows, Clippy noticed an Apple logo on Fallon's computer that caused Clippy to fly a bit off the handle. "It sounds like somebody's being a f***ing liar," Clippy said before he reached down to pick up a virtual baseball bat he intended to use to teach Fallon a lesson.
