I think the almost 0 fee is more than enough of a reason personally.  Really the positives of accepting BC as a metchant beat the positives of accepting credit cards excluding the availability.  The only other negative aspect I can think of (mind you I am still new to BC in general) is, of course, the US dollar is stable compared to bitcoin.

Nope... Payment processors companies like BitPay solve that problem for big companies like Dell / Microsoft with immediate conversion to fiat for a small fee.

Did you read the article at all? It is explained in detail...

I quote ..." Furthermore, Bitcoin payments are processed relatively fast and as a merchant, you have the option to convert each Bitcoin payment to your local currency through a payment processor such as BitPay or CoinBase. Local currency payments usually take place the next business days, which is far more favorable compared to more traditional alternatives. "

Stripe opens up this service for merchants in 60 other countries.
