Well 'they' are winning but slowly. I am just back from a visit to Warco just 
outside Guildford, England, suppliers of Chinese & Taiwanese lathes & mills & 
I asked them what proportions of metric & imperial specified machines they 
sold. The reply was 60/40 in favour of metric, 'tho at the Yorkshire ME show 
the buyers overwhelmingly specified imperial. So there are still pockets of 
resistance in Anglosaxonia !
