UK's Biggest Supermarket Challenges Microsoft
An anonymous reader writes "The UK's equivalent of Walmart is taking on Microsoft in the software game. Tesco is famous for it's cheap 'value' food, but it's now offering 'value' alternatives to Microsoft's biggest products. From the article: 'Now, when you traverse the aisles in search of baked beans, sanitary towels and two-for-one packs of raw mince (hamburger), you can grab yourself a copy of Tesco Office (£20) — an alternative to the almost de-facto standard that is Microsoft Office — or Tesco Antivirus (£10), which is designed to keep your PC free of malware.' Tesco apparently 'takes one in every eight pounds spent in the UK'."
Tesco here in Britain have Apple iBooks for an amazing £0.03 less than the Apple website price!

Everyone ignores him, the guy sitting at the head of the table says the same thing and everyone agrees. Because he made a hand motion. Next time, make a hand motion and maybe you'll get your story posted =D
It's amazing how often stating the completely (and idiotically) obvious will get you modded up as 'funny' around here...
