Windows 10 and Windows 11 downloads blocked in Russia
Windows 10 and Windows 11 downloads blocked in Russia
People in Russia can no longer download Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISOs and installation tools from Microsoft, with no reason for the block provided by the company.
Do you think it's some sort of bug or mistake on their part, or that they're actively trying to sanction Russia? What's your opinion on this?
I see a lot of US companies blocking 5 country codes and .ru is one of them. It wouldn't be that surprising if Microsoft is doing the same.
My opinion? It sucks that ordinary people over there are suffering for no fault of their own, but aside from direct conflict, making life hard for the populace would seem the only way to pressure the government.
That said, VPNs generally make this unenforceable and all it's going to do is add a step to what people have to do over there.
I mean, Putin was elected. And there are definitely people who still support him. I wouldn’t call that “no fault of their own.”
Это к лучшему, надо ставить linux!!!
