Do European students run critical infrastructure? Because that's where the real problem is.

Lots of things run on Linux, which was Torvald's thesis project at a European university.

Which, by the way, took 8 years... typical length for European's who really don't feel like graduating (back in the day).

It's a bit out there, but I do believe there is some truth to op's points.

Linux has been developed by paid professional developers for 20 years or more. I agree that the European university model is interesting for initial R&D, but things have to professionalize over time.

How about Linux? KDE and by extension WebKit/Blink(KHTML)?
