As far as gadget goes, "newer is better" is a dominant factor in Europe too. The problem lays in the enterprise world. One time a client told me "you call this Visual Basic application old, but it's not. It's consolidated". Can't argue with that logic. As for the second point, you're right on the money. I can't count the amount of engineers that make less than 25/30k€ here.
