Who needs MS Office when you can buy Tesco Office?

GIANT UK GROCER Tesco offers loads of stuff it's selling directly in the computing field - right down to notebooks and PCs from Gateway and the rest. And you'll need software, right?

Well why shell out god knows how much for Orifice 2007 when you can get Tesco "Complete Office Software" for £19.97, or £20 in real money?

According to the Tesco blurb, the bundle provides a word processor, spreadsheets, a presentation thingie and a database. Plus, "Tesco Complete Office Software" is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98 SE/ME/200/XP and 2003, it says here.

Tesco also seems to have AV thingies and the rest, here.

Or you could always, we suppose, go Open Orifice for nothing.

We wonder how the Vole can counter the immense power of the Tesco brand? Maybe it's time for the VoleStore, selling chickens and new potatoes in standardised sizes? Or the Tesco OS, with its own GUI? Let's hope Tesco starts selling chips, eh? Oh sheesh, it already does. µ
