Torx, nice.
-
Most general purpose screws you find at the hardware stores here in Norway are torx.

ok little mister perfect!!!

I think it has to do with patents and royalties
-
The last related patent for Philips expired in the 60's. No royalties are required since then. Also, the patents were filed with USPTO, which nobody outside the US care about.
-
Exactly, phillips heads and others still being on patent, but not torx. Therefore torx being the budget option.
-
Exactly the opposite. Philips screws are no longer patented.
-
Also, no wood screws in Europe are Philips anyway, they're either torx or pozidrive
-
In that case, I'm completely wrong :)
