Topic: Not just software, it's M&S software

You might associate Marks & Spencer more with knitwear or luxury foods, but the high-street retailer has just begun a new product line - software.

Office suites, anti-virus programs and clipart are just some of the applications you'll be able to buy in-store or online, and have been produced for M&S by Formjet.

Formjet has already supplied its 'white-label' software programs to Tesco and Woolworths.

"The individual titles within the M&S Software range have been jointly and carefully selected to provide the widest appeal. Internet security and anti-virus are of course crucial today to ensure protection of any user's system online and every household needs a complete suite of office applications," said Formjet's David Hennell.

"Equally, if help is needed with an upcoming driving test or if customers want to get creative and design their own individual greetings cards, M&S now offers ideal solutions to those needs as well," continued Hennell.

M&S Internet Security with Back-Up Software will cost £49.50, Office Suite with Antivirus Software is £39.50, the Greetings Card Maker and Clipart Collection Software is £19.50 and a program that helps you pass your driving test costs £9.50.

There will also be a technical support website, run by Formjet but carrying Marks & Spencer branding.

I wonder if it comes with a use by date?

More importantly, do you get a free chocolate pudding with it.

I wonder if they will take it back after you opened it, and used it and dont like it?

I was in my local store once, and the woman was giving a refund on a pair of shoes that the customer had said were faulty-she had worn the damn things for 9 months!!!
