> Why the big difference? For one thing, Salesforce.com's operating expenses rose 40% year over year to $656.3 million, with big increases in head count as well as research and development, sales and marketing, and general administrative expenses. > They want to be the market leader so they keep expanding as long as they have money. They can always reduce the headcounts and becomes profitable.
