cookie_monster Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Does anyone else get repeated calls and emails for this bunch of jokers they have obviously name themselves Mikesoft so when they ring up reception puts them straight through thinking it's Microsoft. I've asked them to take me off their email list three times yet i'm still receiving them and they continue to ring even thought i've said i won't deal with them. And to cap their joke image take a look at the web site. http://www.mikesoft.com/
AlexB Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Ah, another round of Mikesoft bashing Search the forums, we've been here and bashed before
DSapseid Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 There we go theres the other mikesoft topic http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8817&highlight=mikesoft
cookie_monster Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 Yeh i've just been taking a look at that. I'd like them to employ sales people that understand the sentence "no thank you i'm not interested".
_Bat_ Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 People have said they provide a decent service... it is mainly the name that would possibly give me second thoughts... they knew people would confuse them with microsoft, it's just dirty marketing really.
cookie_monster Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 They might and their tech staff might be very good but their sales staff are rude and annoying and i'm pretty sure lose them customers on a regular basis.
ConTheITGuy Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 They always make think of a nightclub from where I am from. There is, or was, a world famous (apparently) nightclub. Very popular with the tourists etc.. Someone came along and built a nightclub on the same block, and called it "Main Entrance"! Andy
Lee_K_81 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I got 2 unsolicited emails off them 2 minutes apart back in Jan. Just decided to block them on exchange. As others have said it's the name that put me off. I think it probably sounded really good to whoever came up with it, but i'm sure it's put a LOT of people off.
_Bat_ Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Well seeing as this thread links to their website they'll hopefully see this page and note down the opinions people actually have of them.
Little_Devil Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I think that you should all chill out and leave the poor girl alone, she's only doing a job at the end of the day, It may annoy you guys but we have to buy equipment from some where, I found some of the offers to be competitive.

Hmm... Not to be paranoid or anything, but generally a new users first post, supporting the bad practices of a company looks suspicious...
Oops_my_bad Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 It may annoy you guys but we have to buy equipment from some where Yes and thankfully we don't have to buy from Mikesoft.
cookie_monster Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 Also i don't think we were picking on one person, the point was that generally their are staff are rude and persistent they just will not take 'no' for an answer. Also they refuse to take me off their email list even though i have responded serveral times asking them to.

PeterW Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Was it just me that was thinking Little_Devil = the poor girl ?
tech_guy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Hmmmm, website under construction - do you think they're still struggling to get the shrink-wrap off their copy of "You can build a website in a day" from Mikerocrap?

You punch your receptionist, that’s a little harsh I would hate to he that person
tech_guy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Well, we don't call ourselves "The IT Squad" for nothing (we even have polo shirts with it printed on - no, seriously, we do!).
FN-GM Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Sounds like you have a good job special T-shirts and you go and beat up the receptionist every now and then.
cookie_monster Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 We need an IT Squad here, maybe they would do some work on a few of the staff as well from time to time.
tech_guy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Oh, we can be hired out - hence the polo shirts - we provide IT support to local businesses and organisations in our area. Though we can't hit the receptionists in those businesses though....
Elky Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Little_Devil is based in Staffordshire. Strange, so are MikeSoft
tech_guy Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 .....teaching staff might be another matter ;-)
