Microsoft after Facebook?

Microsoft, just a few days removed from walking away from its Yahoo bid, is reportedly sniffing around Facebook.

According to Kara Swisher, Microsoft’s bankers contacted Facebook to see if Mark Zuckerberg and company would be interested in selling the company. The Wall Street Journal also reported the same thing, partially citing Swisher. There are no active talks.


Who knows if Facebook would sell to Microsoft, but it’s pretty clear that the software giant wants scale and has about $45 billion or so burning a hole in its pocket.......

Pretty sure they already own part of it. Like 2% was sold to them earlier in the year for a few million $.
