Awesomeness

Great article, laughed my pants off at the silly secretary lady and all the subject really. Nice way to kick them in the butt the second time.

I bet the secretary lady read this article and she concluded that Inq actually feels sorry, and she's satisfied now. Some people's brains just don't want to work, and the trouble is they have the loudest mouths around.

Microsoft hiding behind their skirts, heh heh.

Thanks

You made my day. Thanks for that.

And don't take the negative comments above that serious since it's they job to write such things. Myself and the german tech-press I read so far does fully agree with your conclusion.

Creativity gone mad

Just read the previous article to which this one refers - someone (That's you Nick!) was obviously trying to be very 'creative' with the whole cinema thing - shame the article didn't really have any substance - maybe that's why they all complained. Maybe better to spend your time thinking your articles through. Bring back Mike!!!!! Big Issue time for you Nick. *** Meloquin

like Shakespeare

That article read like Shakespeare, hard to understand but it sounded great. Nick hurt Microsoft's feelings, somebody please give him a medal!

All too true.

I just read your "Trident ends tear-jerking Windows scenes in picture houses." article. It is all too true. Speaking literally about what was written before, I have encountered many instances, where people cannot watch a bloody dvd on windows because of the DRM. A video codec installed "who knows when" causes Windows to think the video drivers need to be updated. I just install VLC player to prevent me having to charge customers unneeded money, which companies like Norton Protection 2003 "freshly renewed" will do.

I didn't really get it

Anyway I thought trident was a kind of gum, or else the pokey thing the devil shakes at you for running Microsoft software.
???totally mystified???
I guess I'm sorry too, in a way... sorry about it chaps.

I've never read a funnier apology! It's great writing like that, has details but leaves us laughing, which keeps us coming back for more!

Remember theINQ has one policy. Too Bad, Tough Luck & NO Way.

Changes: 1.) bring back Mike 2.) Make Paul President 3.) Make Syl My Mistress. END OF STORY.

Dear Mr. Booth et. al.,

You needn't expect knee-jerk kickbacks from me. I would be a sham to be given over to such a rebate mind. Everyday I read The INQUIRER, hoping that some bloke such as your self has left me a bread crumb for which I fall to my kneeshams and give thanks for morsells to come. From http://www.neesham.co.uk/documents/NeeshamCompanyBrochure-noclients.pdf 
and I quoth: "Elaine Hodson, as an Account Executive [sic (with capitals)] working directly with editors and clients [ {also} sic (without capitals)], she continues to impress with her energy and efficiency." 
Shorely, Mr. Booth, you being a patron of the arts, should recognise it's 'The End' for popcorn at the movies. We know that it is, because the Guardian tells us so: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/aug/10/foodanddrink1
I would suggest, Mr. Booth, that if you hope to butter your poppycock in the future, that you should take note of the Current Client List (capitals? yes, sure. why not?) listed as it were on page 11 of Neesham PRLtd's brochure [sited]. And in your future nights out on the cinema scenes, try to avoid they clientèle's sense and sensabities, so help your Tourette's, I do swear and where do I sign?

It is was only true

We will be glad never to hear about Microsoft here anymore. You seem to have an perpetual ax to grind against MS. it is beyond boring, even the US National Inquirer (a known piece of garbage) has a better journalistic etiquette and is getting a bad name because of you. Did Microsoft turn you down for a job? Did they refuse to give you free software? Did they hurt your feeling when you were little? Whatever the problem was, deal with it, grow up and move on. you continual ranting against MS is so out there that you are actually producing the opposite effect on the readers, even those not particularly favorable to MS.

Damned if you do...

So glad to hear that you won't be running any more stories about Microsoft. 

Will you be auctioning off Inq office supplies now that you're out of business?

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
