List the top 20 global software companies

Hello,

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world?s largest
software and services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises.
The list includes both private and public companies; 28% of the 2005
Software 500 companies are private.

?The ranking is based on total worldwide software and service revenue
for 2004. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance
and support, training and software-related services and consulting.
Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many
have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial
information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co. and
posted at www.softwaremag.com, as well as from public documents.?
