This is because Microsoft donates millions of dollars to schools
specifically to sponsor programs that encourage exclusive use of M$
software. At the University of Washington in Seattle (Microsoft's
home town) BG and PA practically bought the UW computing program
(http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=allen09&date=20031009)
subsequently, most of the Unix resources have been replaced by C++
courses and the labs with Windows systems. 

I am sure this is happening all over the US, just one of the benefits
of living in a corporate run state. Don't worry EU, your next.
