It's because of all the Free Software

On: Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe

Because Free Software is more popular in Europe, the commercial software companies must make up for the lost stales by increasing prices.
If those damn users would only stop using Free Software, the price of commercial software could come down to a more reasonable level.

Re:Money/Fun

On: Choosing Your Next Programming Job — Perl Or .NET?

I would say the exact opposite. If you can't afford the lesser paying job, there's no choice. If you can afford it, then, if you have a family, go with the fun job.
If you don't have a family, take the higher paying job.
The reasoning?
If you can't vent your creativity at work, you'll have to do it in your spare time.
If you have a family, then this is time you can't spend with your family.
So, choose a job that aligns with your hobbies.
If you don't have a family, you can afford to write your hobby software in your spare time and GPL it.
