Entrust is fully compliant with GAAP. They are a normal software company on the normal software accounting model. VRSN has chosen to be a services company and recognizes revenues differently. My point is that a service model is just inherently better than a software model. It has to do with predictability. VRSN's revenues grew nearly 200% in Q4 while deferring tons of revenue. VRSN is like AUD or EDS but growing at a triple-digit clip.

The accounting is not the only difference with ENTU and VRSN however. VRSN is just much better positioned as its certificates own 25 of the top 25 e*commerce sites on the web. VRSN is a $200-$300 stock in the making.
