The report came from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia (in russian):

"We are at a our company branch in Nizhny Novgorod today experienced the dog with the militia (c) took a linux server. The wording is - THERE IS NO AN ICON "My Computer", SO THE MACHINE IS WITHOUT LICENSE. It's that simple.


Excellent. You get your Linux server at your company. The militia put an eye on your screen, and shiver greedly, because a) it's Windows; b) there is no appropriate icon; c) it's non-licensed version of Windows; d) profit!

And we have in three months the idea of deploying "a passport system of Internet users" by Russian government. Nice.
