I think you misconstrued my post. I was just pointing out that this is an insignificant story. The U.S Gov has always had restrictions in place as to what hardware/software is allowed to be connected in her critical infrastructure systems, and if you are concerned about the Russians creating mischief, then you don't make it easier by using Russian software (or hardware for that matter).
Your welcome to try and boycott those three companies, but it will be a long time before you see any significant results, between them, those three companies own 90-95 % of the world market share in operating systems.
