The Russian government has threatened to nationalize or seize assets from several western companies that have halted operations in the country. Microsoft, Apple, BP, and McDonald's are among the companies that could be affected by the move.

I agree there are cases where you need specific software and in that cases it might be hard, but also there are a shit ton of other cases where everything you need is simply a word processor and spreadsheet.

To be clear, I hope places just cut straight to Linux, I’m saying it seems likely there’ll be a transition period. It still takes time to retrain on a different word processor or spreadsheet software, especially if you’ve been using Microsoft’s 20+ hours a week.

Yeah, I know, I know, also people who are not tech savvy, you change the smallest thing to their GUI and they get lost, you need to do some training stuff.
