Cigital news (European market)

[elebanidze at cigital.com (Evgeny Lebanidze)]

Well, this is hardly a matter of who has a more ancient history, there can be no argument about that.  It all 
ultimately comes down to a business decision.  Software security has been picking up in the States because consumers 
are beginning to demand it explicitly in addition to expecting it implicitly.  In some cases security can even be used 
as a competitive differentiator.  I don't know if the same trend is unraveling in Europe, but even if it's not, it 
makes sense that the European companies would focus on the adoption of software security in order to remain competitive 
in the US market.

That syncs with my limited experience with Europeans, both in the past
(the French in particular) and in the present (Dutch). Any suggestion
that Europe will "follow" the US is probably an error in judgment and
highly likely to offend. We should never forget that we're a mere 233
years old independently compared to their several centuries. The Roman
Empire lasted almost twice that long.
