So you want to penalise successful UK businesses? Just playing devils advocate but they're just building a viable and profitable business. People are always going on about Tesco's taking over the UK (And world it would seem, Fresh and Easy anyone?) but at the end of the day, these people go and shop in Tesco's every evening! Vote with your feet and stay out if you hate them!

Back on topic though, I've seen the advertising LCD's by the Tills in my local Tesco's out of action but didn't know it was MS Windows behind it. Funny stuff! :D My Tesco has hundreds of Plasma's and LCD's all over the place.

So basically Tesco is to the UK to what Wal-Mart is to us?

I don't shop in Tesco.

Tesco are the worst supermarket for putting small businesses under.

Where you used to have thriving local shopping areas with several shops of different kinds (bakers, green grocers, butchers etc) you now have a bloody Tesco Metro.
At least they've been stopped with their estate agent business.

I wholeheartedly agree. We used to have small shops galore around here. Butchers, bakers, even candlestick makers (or not). But since Tesco's popped up a few miles down the road all the local shops have had to shut. Which isn't so great if you don't drive.

I like that it's a British company dominating the world like. But can they just leave off the small villages here?



So basically Tesco is to the UK to what Wal-Mart is to us?

Not even. They're in Europe and parts of Asia now.
 
I love Tesco but I have good reason, had one luxury holiday to the Maldives this year, along with another to Kenya, all for about £150, the rest paid by Tesco Clubcard Points :D (A loyalty card scheme). They have many loopholes...:p (All legal I hasten to add)
 
I saw a BSOD on the self-checkout in ASDA today, but I couldn't snap a pic. They reset it too quickly for me :(

No, ASDA is what Wal-mart is to the US, because it even says Wal-mart on their sign when I was there :D.

Wal-Mart owns ASDA in the UK, and everywhere else in teh world where Wal-marts exist, Wal-Marts are just called Wal-marts.
 
/me felt like contributing here ;)

No photo, but a few months ago I was flying Business class, and the entertainment system had BSOD, they tried rebooting it for 2 or 3 times and eventually they reinstalled it.

It's funny to see all the displays behind every seat having BSOD. Will take a photo next time.

Thankfully the avionics are not powered by windows.
 
Space Shuttle exhibit on USS Intrepid museum in NYC. I hope the real shuttle doesn't doesn't run Windows :eek:
