In Europe (well worldwide) there is another "Philips" like screw head called Pozidriv [0], it has a small engraved cross 45deg to the main recess on the screw head. The drivers have flutes in the head identifying them. They are much better than Philips as they are designed to not ride out until under a high enough torque where the screw could be damaged.

In the UK they are the dominant product in hardware stores.
