Based on Ubuntu. Interface and functionality like Windows, users will not feel much difference. BRICS countries committed to their own Linux distributions. South Africa has been the exception.

The German city of Munich did that a long time ago, and later they came back crawling to Bill Gates to take their money again.
I'm not sure about this article.
Back in the day it was hardware incompatibility that was cited as the prime reason to backtrack to Windows.
They still had to buy new hardware, because the newer Windows version didn’t support the old hardware anymore.
Spot on.
Windows cut off plenty of actually solid devices and forced users to buy newer, but definitely worse equipment. At least that's how it was when printers, scanners and multi-function devices are discussed. Especially INK printers.
Damn, that was, like, an extortion...
