still. in. shock.

Honestly didn't expect them to roll anything out this soon, thought they'd be a couple of years off.

Google, wtf man, MS beat you?

Fantastic news!

But I wish they would enable everyone to use Bitcoin as payment form, and not only US.

It's a step in the right direction now that even Microsoft is trying Bitcoin.

Maybe we will get lucky and Microsoft will not dump their coins...

Great news, huge marketing. But they dump on the moment an account is being funded (through Bitpay), it get's credited in US$.

Is it available only in US ? Do you know when it will available in the rest of the world ?

"Support for adding money to a Microsoft account with Bitcoin is currently limited to the United States."

Forget it, I still hate them Angry

One in the eye for the nay-sayers Wink

This is a huge endorsement by Microsoft, maybe Gates isn't such a pleb afterall.

Great news, but your not prying me away from Linux Mr. Gates. Cheesy

Actually they had an about-turn on their opinion of Linux. Microsoft love Linux now and make lots of money from selling Linux-based cloud services:

It was really the right time that Microsoft finally accept BTC.
They are real leaders in IT industry, always first to accept new ideas and implement it, so now I'm sure that other IT companies will follow and accept BTC as well.

Payment in bitcoin is illegal in China. Chinese may not use bitcoin to pay for MS products.

MS products only for sale in the US to begin with. China can stick to mining the bitcoins while the US spends them. Sounds familiar,
