Finance for Geeks

As both a tech and finance geek, one thing that drives me crazy is when someone uses the phrase "I made $X" to describe top-line revenue and NOT their profits. This occurs really frequently due to either people not being informed, or because they are trying to make their company sound as large and successful as possible.

For ISVs it properly doesn't matter much. They usually have rather few expenses.

High salaries, marketing costs, for SaaS companies infrastructure? ISV is not necessarily 'long guy working out of his attic' - that model is only sustainable for a small subsets of software.

Is it better or worse when they include expenses but don't amortize capital ones?
