>>How can you compare them to MSFT Not them. It...Yahoo. Yahoo's operating margins are as high as Microsoft's. Forget Internet companies, there aren't many companies that have such level of profitability.

George, try $20.2 billion. That $15 billion figure is a couple of days old. Just think what we'll be at in another week! Boeing Aircraft Co. has a mkt cap of $40 billion. But then, they are just a stodgy old mfr of sleek commercial jet-liners. Did Dell's cap exceed $100 billion today? I know yesterday they were within a couple billion. Yhoo will never live up to what the mkt cap promises. It will have crashed and burned long before meaningful sales come even close to gigantic mkt cap conferred upon it today. At least AOL does something to cause its customers to willingly pay up, month after month.
