Huh? You can be an employee and have a side project independent of your boss.

Depends on your employment contract.

(OK, so given the general vibe I don't expect Europe to have the same kind of repugnant clauses I've seen elsewhere, but...)

I'm more talking about the difficulty associated with going from side project to fledgling company.

In the US you just slap up a Delaware Corp, use basically standard documents for it's structure and ownership and you're off to the races.

Is it that easy in Europe?

It is in the UK - go to Companies House, either buy a defunct company name or register a new one, enter your details and some info about what the company will do, pay a small fee {about £25 if you're using an existing name, a bit more otherwise), done. You'll get the basic Articles of Association, share certificates etc in the post, or just download them IIRC.
