The US at least has some degree of control over Microsoft. How much worse is that the EU is still not developing an own OS/distro?

Not having a government directly develop a "blessed OS" is probably for the better

I am not talking about a OS for the general public, but specifically for the administration.

And this will work much better with a unified attempt. If the EU would be taking OpenSuse for this, this would basically be the end of OpenSuses independence... I'd like it to be GNU/Linux based though.

Wouldn't they just get enterprise SUSE licenses instead? Why bother with openSUSE?
