>>And why software companies have a higher price. It's a different business. Higher your margins, the higher the P/B and P/S will be. <<

Yes, but when they don't pay ya a dividend, what are they worth? You should be able to write a formula and the only one I know is the discount cash flow analysis of future earnings and/or dividends.
