Analysts believe that there is a way out in any scenario.
IT market analysts told the media that in case Microsoft Corporation leaves Russia, domestic users will switch to Linux OS.
As RIA Novosti reports with reference to the deputy head of the Competence Center of the NTI “Technologies of Trusted Interaction”, blocking Microsoft software is unlikely, but Russia has an alternative in the form of Linux.
Even if the game consoles stop working, the analyst reports, they will be flashed for another OS. The time that this process will take will be about six months.
There is a second scenario. So, Microsoft will close its representative office in Moscow, but the software itself will continue to work.
It’s just that the purchase of new equipment will become much more expensive, which will have to be purchased through intermediary companies.
The output in this case will be the same – Russia will go to Linux, and the consoles will work again.
As Topnews wrote earlier, Apple previously announced the refusal of sales and a number of technical support to Russian buyers.
At the moment, the export of new products to the country has been stopped.
