I recently graduated from Kharkov radio-electronics university, and there, everywhere I had been, believe it or not, all computers had pirate versions of Windows XP and 7 with the updates turned off, though Microsoft generously allows to update even the pirate versions. And I'm sure in most governmental institutions the situation is the same. The most astonishing thing, is that officially these Windows versions are licensed, with proper appropriations from the budget. Honestly speaking, I'm sure in Russia situation is very similar.
