Toy, >There is no comparison. IBM generates 5-6 times MSFT's revenue for a reason. Really ? Yes. IBM generates 5-6 times MSFT's revenue, but generate the same profit as MSFT. The reason is simple, IBM is in low profit margin business (7%) and MSFT is in high profit margin business (35%). If you really love to compare revenue, then you should pick GM or EXXON to compare with IBM. By the way, NOVL is a pure software and one product company, and you love it very much. To me, you just bias to MSFT. The information I got are from the following URL. techstocks.com techstocks.com
