In addition, Mr.D.Shymkiv said that the state authorities of Ukraine were also using unlicensed Office.
“There are approximately 50% of pirated operating systems and about 70% of unlicensed Office», said Microsoft Ukraine head.
At the same time, he noted that the licensed Microsoft software has been installed on 7 million computers in Ukraine, including the corporate sector.
Mr.D.Shymkiv also noted, that “previously, computers were operated 3-5 years, nowadays their service life is increased to 7 years. This affects the market. The longer the computers are not updated, the narrower the market becomes”, said Dmytro Shymkiv.
