<< both Google Inc and Microsoft Inc see its potential.

A Wall Street Journal report Tuesday said Microsoft is in talks to buy a minority stake in the popular Web site. Google also is rumoured to be interested. >>

I'm saying Google will buy shares before Microsoft, just like they did with AOL. (Google is ahead of everything.. lol.. :P)

why would they need to if they've got a big social network boost on the way?

Because it stops MS snapping up fb as easily. Which would be a disaster for all (including fb users).

I mean, who the hell wants to use "Microsoft(r) Windows(r) Live(r) Facebook(r) for Users And Businesses Edition"?

They also already have MySpace. It doesn't stop them from growing. :)
