    May also be because of US aggressiveness with sanctions. Microsoft is a US company and subject to US law. Not Linux.

      I’m pretty sure it’s the same as eastern europe, where literally no one bought Windows ever and just pirated, so sanctions do nothing

      I’m from Ukraine and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone buying Windows like… ever, I guess if it’s preinstalled on laptops, but many of them were sold without OS for that reason

      Microsoft doesn’t care because that’s exactly how they made a monopoly in eastern europe’s office space before linux became popular enough
