Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer says that the $240 million stake in Facebook is an important investment, not a mistake.

"We didn't make a mistake," Ballmer told reporters on the sidelines of a business conference in Mumbai. Analysts have said Microsoft paid a steep price on a bet that the three-year-old firm would be able to transform itself into a hub for all sorts of Web activity.
 
That's much different than his first commentary draft titled "What the Hell Were We Thinking".
 
It's not like 240 mil will break the bank.... when MS has around 50 bil in cash.
