> So why does Europe have such hard time popping new software ventures
So what makes you think that "popping new software ventures" is a good thing for society? Isn't there enough software already? The problem is the mediocre quality of it, and decline (hello Adobe). Popping new software ventures is hardly a solution.
This is not even debateable. Software is eating the world and there's still a lot to eat. Europe won't be selling leather bags for much longer. The fact that it excluded itself from the future of the internet is a crime for the future generations.
New ventures is a solution for decline of old ones. The circle of life... It's a necessity, in fact. Cells need to divide and renew, organisms need to reproduce. Companies are the same.
