Consider this - - What is computer literacy of people governing? - Even if some of them are aware, they probably want a turn key solution that they don't have to mess with because there may not be enough people to manage it and people get transferred. Therefore they find it convenient to go for already established brands and names. - How many people in Govt. have vested interests in going for a particular brand. - How many computer engineering graduates would actually like to work for Govt. (leave alone few that go from IITs to join IAS). Even if some of them do, they find it difficult to continue due to various factors like reservation policy, corruption etc. - Shouldn't Govt invite fresh graduates from collages and seek their opinion? </rant> and so on...
