I think that Microsoft would be over paying if they paid $15 to $20 billion for Facebook, but then again, anything is possible. If Microsoft does put that sort of offer on the table, I would advise the to accept it (after shorting Microsoft).

Silicon Alley Insider, which has done an analysis of the top digital startups, values Facebook at $9 billion.
