It's the same reason that long term election promises are never fulfilled, i.e. roads, is by the time it becomes obvious the work has been succesfull, the people responsible have left, and can't get any kudos for it. What's their motivation, political and corporate accolades are useless if you gain nothing from them.
Only because the roll-out and retraining of hundreds of I.T. staff would have cost them millions in time and lost productivity.
This is not entirely surprising, and the primary reason that Linux and open source OS's are not being adopted by the main stream large organisations. It has nothing to do with the stability,functionality and quality of the actual products.
So what if you like a movie released by them, are you not going to see it, or are you going to illegally copy it and watch it because you disagree with their business model? It always amazes me that if you have an opinion that is in any way different to the slashdot hordes you get flamed/modded down. And if you roll with the masses you get modded +3 funny because you have such an astounding grip of the english language that "fucktard" makes you giggle like a pre-pubescant schoolchild. Which you possibly are.

Can't rely on the government to roll out this infrastructure.
It's the same as traffic problems, it costs a heap of money to fix, and won't usually be fixed in the 4 years a politician is in office, and they won't see any return from it, therefore it's not even worth them doing it.
Unless we do it ourselves, we'll never get it.

How many people thought they where going to throw away a CD, or, gasp, a CD-R with their amazing 680 meg of data. Give it a few years and we will.
Look at the pics of those dudes... bet they don't read slashdot......
53.285% of all statistcs are made up.
It's up to the sysadmins to move stuff over. MS your corporation may pay for IIS licences, but if you don't run it....

A black hole is not a hole in gravity or anything else. It is a singularity of infinite mass.
