I've been taking an interest in this since the pre-launch advertising and kept an eye on all the reviews.
The 'Office' package is made by Ability and has extra features - there is no pop ups or advertising. I have no idea where you got that from. It is fully compatible with Microsoft Office and I think that anything that encourages the non-techie user away from MS products is a good thing. It is cheaper than Ability.
I use OpenOffice - which is totally free - but some people reluctant to dabble in unfamiliar software may be reassured by the Tesco label.

One of my friends who is a computer a programmer tried it. He told me not to bother with it. The popups idea came from an article i read on the internet quite a while ago. It claimed tesco had left 'windows' in their software wich were very easy for hackers to exploit. Although tesco has done the right thing in terms of marketing, in my opinion tesco is like vernon kay, There getting to big for their own good.
You take your choice - thankfully there is plenty of choice out there.
But definitely no pop ups and no advertising with their software.
I think MS is too big for its own good and welcome competition from familiar household names. A lot of computer users are not online, and a readily accessible office suite alternative is an excellent way of giving choice to Joe Bloggs.

It's not only Tesco that buy land for that purpose - Morrisons and Sainsburys do too.
I don't see anything wrong with Tesco's opening in Poland. I can't think of one good reason for them not to. Polish people are entitled to just as much choice as us. If they don't like it, they shop elsewhere.
I buy groceries and household cleaning goods from Tesco, meat from a farm butchers 15 miles away and fish from my local fishmonger. Vegetables from the farm shop and local greengrocer.
I make my own bread.
Tesco is a mile and a half away, but my local supermarket is awful. Dirty, expensive and very limited range. Oh - I recycle all my recyclables at Tesco while I'm there.
The huge indoor shopping centre 3 miles from my local town has killed my High Street - BHS, M&S, Argos and so on have all relocated to this out of town shopping centre with its free car park. At least Tesco is still in the town.

Tesco is one of Englands biggest companies. I dont doubt they could get their finger into every pie and do it well. It's not like they got one of their cashiers to design the software.
its just a stigma. "what do tesco supermarket know about computers". Probably nothing but the people they hired to do the project probably do.
Probably. I dont know. I didnt even know that tesco made an ofice suite but i wouldnt be too proud to give it a go

I am long retired and have never worked for anybody - I had my own business.
But to accuse Tesco of attempting world domination AND to criticise them for providing some competition to Bill Gates Microsoft in the same breath is laughable.
I am 'for' consumer choice. If you want to use MS products that's fine by me. If you don't want to shop at Tesco that is also fine. But it's good to have a choice,

Tesco is an international, tax-dodging, corporate takeover conglomerate whether you like it or not; if you think it's all about freedom of choice, tell that to the lettuce farmers whose lives are in tatters because Tesco decided to terminate their contracts halfway through upon finding a cheapre source. Corporate ********.
