My take on this issue having traveled throughout Europe and Middle East and "looking" at the American policies from a different perspective is the extended 'American Pride'. Same as, why don't we use the International accepted metric system? Yes there would be an initial cost, but why continue manufacturing using the "other" system? I believe the open source in time will remedy this situation. Monopoly of proprietary products will eventually dissolve and become a chapter in the annals of IT history.
