I commend Russians for being pretty savvy about operating systems these days. Building their own, sponsoring Linux variants, and now this. I can see how Microsoft's OS can be seen as a USA trojan horse for other countries, and I won't be surprised if others (China) follow suit. Even as other US companies tout increased security practices (Apple Apple)
This is not new, whether it is RedFlag Linux in China and Munich bending over backwards trying to accommodate Linux etc. There is a dose of envy about US corporations around the world. Remember China did some kind of quasi ban on Windows 8 ? Time to time, there is a bureaucratic circle jerk, which becomes headline news but just the reality of the world hits.. every one forgets and moves on.
