Big news, before this kind of news would make the price jump because of they buy-to-dump strategy. BTC looks much more stable now.

I assume they mean they won't be refunding in bitcoin, but the payments themselves would be refundable if the purchase was refundable, yes?

Also, not sure what they mean by brush $19 - what does that number mean?

My guess is that Bitpay will have some type of Microsoft promo at the "Bitcoin Bowl"... this will be the coming out party for educating the public.

I was thinking the same thing, not living in the US.  However, then I read this:

BitPay: Microsoft Has Aggressive Global Vision for Bitcoin
http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-microsoft-aggressive-global-vision-bitcoin/

Sounds like this is really just the first step as part of a larger move by MS, and all they could manage to get in place before Christmas (and good for them that they did - they still made it happen quite quickly!)
