Borland beats IBM: IBM sells for $98/share with revenues of $47.57/share. INPR sells for $6.00/shares and has revenues of $2.98. If IBM were selling at $6.00 a share then based on the $47.57 it would have earnings of of $2.87/share. Therefore on on an equity per share basis INPR is actually doing better than IBM. (i.e. 98 is to 47.57 as 6 is to X - solve for X). On a revenue per employee, IBM has 282,894 while INPR has 249,146 - very close. INPR based on these facts doesn't disserve all the bashing it gets on this thread (plus you don't see INPR tanking during this election uncertainty period like IBM an all the other major software vendors - such as BEAS).
