    It is more like self imposed sanction against US made products. There are now tons of open source operating systems and applications that can replace Microsoft products, which are basically some old programs. The replacements cost vastly less for use and support.

      There are indeed tons. But I think it's debatable whether they can replace Microsoft. But when forced to replace Microsoft, you'll try anyway.
