Yes it's 'cultural' [socio-economically] determined; not based on

It would be more accurate to say that the G7's decision IS based on
momentum/inertia.  As a previous writer told <his clients must 
consider M$ may make in future, so that he is not stranded with
systems that no longer function>.

Russia hasn't got the 'baggage' and can evaluate the choices
on a technical basis. Unfortunately 'human factors' are the 
most important. Just consider what a disaster it is, when some
of your keyboard keys are moved.

How would I cutNpaste from the *.pdf to communicate via email or USEnet
etc., like I can with N-O of the 90's?

PS. can A2 for linux read the 'old N-O disk partitions'?
LNO is problematic, in several ways.

Is there a USEnet <android> group/s?
It seems that *nix/android may crowd-out Windows.
