In fact, MS used to leverage itself on that basis too.
Ironically, it now integrates more linux in it than ever before... so pissing off russians is probably not wise considering an increasing amount of people are using Linux/Windows hybrids nowadays.

Software should be a tool to liberate them, not enslave them.
It largely does this well, but for the racketed controls of admins that leverage their input to software and hardware for political gains.
