The two reasons that generally stop me from these sorts of endeavors
is that, first, to have a successful company, you have to be supplying
something for which there is demand.  The second point is that running
a company usually involves a lot of paperwork and marketting, and I've
yet to find a developer who's willing to dedicate her/his share of the
effort to doing this stuff.
