A Russian teacher was fined half his monthly wage for using pirated copies of Microsoft's Windows operating system and office suite. The suit was brought to court, not by Microsoft, but by Russian prosecutors. President Vladimir Putin called it “utter nonsense”. (CNN: Teacher fined for Microsoft piracy)
Russin TV portrayed Alexander Ponosov as a hero and former president Michael Gorbachev reportedly asked Microsoft chairman Bill Gates to pardon the Russian teacher.
There is an easy and convenient way to avoid this kind of shit. Dump Microsoft's Windows, the real one and the pirated one, and switch to Linux. There are more than 500 different versions of the Linux operating system. One flavor will certainly suit your hardware and your personality.
Yes, dear Vladimir, Microsoft is “utter nonsense”. Just dump it.
