Ed, I agree 100%.
If we take the current PE which about 70 approx.
If consider internet to be 5% and if an PE for internet business 200.
Remember MSFT has both Internet access and a portal site.
Weighted PE (70*.95 + 200*.05) is 76.5.
I think a PE of 70 would be too low for this company even in their non internet business.
I realize that this a crude way to determine PE but kind of signals to me that the stock is way undervalued by current standards. Remember AOL already had a burst in the internet access business. MSFT is just starting to rocket in this business along with the portal MSN.
