. The concept of X was based on a "tragic misunderstanding" of research conducted at Stanford University, showing that the same part of the brain in use while using a mouse or keyboard was also responsible for emotional reactions while interacting with other human beings and thus is the reason people yell at their computer monitors. The misunderstanding made by Microsoft was that if humans reacted to computers the same way they react to other humans, it would be beneficial to include a human-like face in their software. However, since humans already react to computers the same way they do humans, including a human-like face in their software would be unnecessary.
The X was heavily mocked in popular culture, being parodied, appearing in memes, and even being made fun of by Microsoft themselves from 2001 onwards.
