It is actually the other way around, America uses funny paper sizes. Most of 
the world is on a metric system and has been since before you could count, 
or talk, or spell for that matter. If you wish to do the math, America is 
about 5-6 per cent of the world's population, and you think that because the 
rest of the world is different they are "funny"??? Get a reality check boy.

As to the issue of different drivers, I don't know for certain, but I would 
be williing to bet it stems from many of the same reasons that DVD systems 
are region encoded, very little to do with "rights management", but probably 
more to do with many, many, many middlemen in line at the pig's trough.

p.s. I am a Canuckian, and we use the same FUNNY sizes as Americans . . . I 
could never understand why we both are so backward.
