A big difference between the .com bubble of the late 90's and the situation right now is in the number of companies applying for an IPO. That number is still currently a fraction of .com bubble levels.
VC investments are on the rise but still lower than at the peak of the bubble.
When looking at these statistics it doesn't yet resemble what we saw in the late 90's. Maybe people learned their lesson. Or it could be just the resulting chilling effect from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act... Its a lot more difficult to go public nowadays.
