Microsoft are reportedly in talks to acquire 5% of Facebook.

The numbers involved (between $300-$500m) are, as usual, staggering, but it would seem a wise move for Microsoft, especially with the burgeoning Facebook application scene.

Google must be chuckling though, just days after the rumours of them out opening Facebook, a move like this could taint the perceived freedom of the Facebook APIs going forward…playing into the mighty G’s hands.
