Story: Tesco takes on software giants

Supermarkets are a fantastic outlet for these programs and I feel the giants must heed this move. They will need to cut the price of their software as if they wish to remain in the game.
How many times do you go to PC World? How many times to you go to Tesco.? Professionals will most often go tthe Microsoft et al route 0 but millions won't. I think this step is the most significant step in software distribution for years.
