Those other means are probably Microsoft selling resalable licenses to some foreign country, who then resells them in Cuba. Just because there is an embargo on Cuba doesn't mean people are pirating their copy of Windows.
For one thing, the embargo is older than the CPU, but somehow these people still have computers. They must all be running Sony PS3s, because Motorolla, IBM, Intel, and AMD are all American companys, meaning no modern CPU can be sold to Cuba. How does Cuba get modern american computers, but not modern american cars?
