According to a source quoted by Russia's Kombucha newspaper, the supply of laptops without pre installed operating systems to Russia is growing. If they account for only 40% of the total number of imported equipment in the spring, this index will increase to 60% by June. Sources believe that the decision of distributors to supply equipment without an operating system may be related to the desire to limit price increases. The Ministry of digital development, communications and mass media of the Russian Federation said that at the same time, the Russian government was considering the mandatory pre installation of the Russian operating system on imported equipment. Microsoft announced its withdrawal from the Russian market in March this year, and suspended the sales of goods and services in Russia due to the Ukraine incident. Three months later, Microsoft announced that it would reduce its Russian business and cut 400 Russian employees. In addition, it is reported that under the background of Microsoft's decision to stop selling new products to Russia, the popularity of windows software piracy and similar products in Russia is increasing, and the awareness of Russian local users in operating systems and software is beginning to change. Previously, Microsoft has banned Russian users from accessing the official website and downloading windows 11 and windows 10 systems. (Xinhua News Agency)
