Any guesses on the market value for VMWare? EMC bought it in 2003 for $625M. What is it worth today.....

This article puts it’s value at $10 billion, but that seems low by today’s standards. The company makes about $1 billion/year in revenue. Software companies, especially one with buzz, could be trading at 12 to 30 times revenue.
