Ok, as others have said, it's clearly false.  Nevertheless, it is pretty funny and a cute nod to bitcoin.  Also, nice catch to the person that pointed out that Gavin isn't spelled right.

I'm glad I saw this thread, made me smile!

So it appears Satoshi hasn't disappeared after all. see 3rd pic in link below.

Still sending emails from his gmx.com account and all.  Wink

Kinda strange that Microsoft would use an example image like that one. Thought I'd just post it here for fun.

He/She/They no longer control that address.

It was hacked a while back, I dont think much useful info came of it though.  Strange though that "he" has been able to secure his identity, and seemingly not care that "he" has millions of btc just kicking around, but he couldnt secure an email address...

Maybe it wasn't secure because he abandoned the email address and every hint towards him long before it was hacked? He didn't change password anymore after all.
As far as I remember, someone used the password recovery-function, which required to guess the birthdate and someone just brute forced it.
Actually, what Satoshi did, was pretty smart. He just abandoned every account that was linked to his fake persona since they didn't have any link to his real identity anyways.

Nice Catch!

It seems like someone is definitely a fan and clearly thought of the content (Besides the spelling)

yes.  very good find indeed. 

wow.  surprised but not stunned microsoft is using satoshi for advertising. 
i guess he's famous enough amongst enough of the technology community and you don't have to compensate for using him in advertising. 

we know how ms doesn't like to pay for things.   Smiley

I wouldn't say its just some blogger. Actually its the Outlook team and they have used the name of Bitcoin 'satoshi' to possibly subliminally 'Bitcoin it up' what is in reality silly ole PayPal.

If I was Satoshi I would sue.....


If I was Satoshi I would also be having fun somewhere....

That's fucking funny. Subtle advertisement by Microsoft? What else can be? or whoever wrote that blog is a bitcoiner and used him as in inside joke so we would mention his article here. In any case, it worked.

Yeah, just a blogger taking some artistic liberties while making the post.  Doesn't look likes it's a BTC endorsement by MS in any way shape or form.  Still a cool find though!

Yeah, whoever it is spelled Gavin wrong....
But it is a nice promotion for Bitcoin one can say.
Don't you think?

Is this a joke or what? -_-
Maybe Satoshi works with Microsoft, that's why they're still do a contact with each other. Shocked

Haha, nice catch.

Actually, Satoshi is the receiver, not the sender.

Someone at Microsoft is a big bitcoin fan. Smiley

Actually, I think that may just be a reply to his message. Cause on the left hand pane it says inbox and under his name it says Hi Gavin etc. The other emails are interesting too.
