Reddit Discussion
En Chine et en Russie, il n’existe aucun risque que cela se produise, car ils n’utilisent pas les produits américains de Microsoft.
Il est temps que la France, à l’image de la gendarmerie, cesse d’utiliser les produits de Microsoft, qui conviennent davantage aux joueurs de 14 ans. (Je considère que l’utilisation de Linux est déjà plus sérieuse et professionnelle.)
