Nice that Microsoft beat Google to this one... though you have to wonder how far down the barrel they had to reach. Could Facebook really be anywhere near this valuable? Too bad MS didn't beat Google to YouTube, or beat Yahoo! to Flickr.
Quoted: After losing many battles to Web behemoth Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) finally won one. On Oct. 24, the software giant prevailed in its bid for a stake in the social network Facebook. Microsoft agreed to buy a $240 million piece of the company in a transaction that values Facebook at $15 billion.
