Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for reducing dependence on foreign technology products, and Moscow will replace Microsoft's products with domestic products on a large scale. Microsoft's Exchange Server and Outlook email clients have been replaced by email software developed by PJSC, Russia's state-run telecom operator.
