Here is a photo from a WINDEV seminar: http://www.windev.com/img/windev/hd/windev.jpg (faces blurred to protect the innocent)

Looks like a cult meeting.

I pity the poor IT worker who receives that at work and has to explain to management why he brought and adult magazine to work. It looks like a Dilbert comic in the waiting.

We don't really like that kind of advertisement in our workplace.

He brought it there just to share the WTF moments. PCSoft never ceases to amaze us. A very bad language and an even worse marketing strategy, but the company still works...

I wasn't thinking this specific case, but just some person in some "big corp".

You sound reasonable, I've witnessed the unreasonable in management. I still shiver at the thought of a manager who didn't understand why his worker who performed emergency support after being woken at home and driving to work at 1AM was not wearing the required suit the next morning. I can only imagine his reaction upon seeing this is some pour IT worker's mailbox.

It was sent to my personal address. Which I've never gave them.

Wow, that's a bit of evil right there.

Holy shit, I just had a flashback to Incite magazine and PCXL.

Wait, what - this is not from the nineties?

It looks like it's from france, they tend to do things a little differently.

To be fair, I've found France to be better than SV in this regard. Thankfully windev is just one company stuck in the 90s.
