Microsoft finally did it! You need to be an 'outlaw' or a 'pirate' in Russia to not use BSD or GNU/Linux...

Summary: The world changes fast. With countries like Poland, Norway, Canada, Taiwan and Turkey increasingly moving to GNU/Linux self-determination is improved. GNU/Linux is at ~5% market share this month, if one counts ChromeOS, globally; for laptops/desktops in Turkey GNU/Linux was measured at 10% this past spring and if ones counts mobile too, Windows is at 10% market share.

"It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not."

--Jeffrey Epstein's close friend (Bill Gates)
