Give us a break. Microsoft should have fixed this a long time ago.
But, they like the confusion and compatibility problems it creates. Here is what O'Reilly said:

O?Reilly discusses what would happen if the United States changed the date system to match Microsoft?s:

To help Office to become a standard, one adaptation governments could make would be to retroactively declare 1900 a leap year. This would require updates to history books and other documents (for instance, V-E day would change to May 7, and the World Trade Center attacks would have taken place on September 10) but I?d like to see a cost comparison with the alternative that businesses dread: migrating to open document formats.
