It’s us, kind of. Demand for exports from China has been understandably struggling and the Chinese economy decelerated further to 6.1% y/y growth in Q1.

Microsoft's interest in Facebook valued the company at $15 billion. Talk this week indicates that Facebook is looking to raise more money pre IPO, at a valuation of either $2 billion or $4 billion. This numbers are not close together, by the way.
Microsoft's buying less than 2% of the company for $240 million in 2007 looks kind of silly right now. That being said, if Facebook is willing to take money at a $2 billion valuation, Microsoft should take all that it can get.
