Out of curiosity, I just checked a rabdom Top 100 list. It seems to be market cap based, which in itself is a problem. What struck me is the absence of Dassault Systems for example while AutoDesk is in the top 50.
I do agree so that in Germany software as a stand alone thing has close to zero perceived value. If it is embedded in hardware, sure, it is important. Not as important as it could be, and it will always be seen as one part of many.
When it comes to stuff like MS Office, software is a tool, nothing else. As long as its working people a re happy using it.
The big devide, and I think it is a HN thing mostly, is how much importance software is given by people. Obviously, HN is giving it a lot.
