M$ tried exactly such thing in one of Office releases (don't remember how was 
this "talking paper clip" called). This feature was universally claimed by 
majority of users as absolutely most annoying thing M$ has ever made, and 
excluded from following versions of MS Office. 

People usually do not like idea of being watched and mentored all the time. 

Maybe would be worth to make such feature as special "learning option". But 
God save Linux if this would become the default.
