In a surprise move, Microsoft quietly started taking Bitcoin today, allowing the funding of Microsoft accounts with the digital currency. They are using Bitpay as their payment processor.
Purchases cannot be made directly with Bitcoin, instead it can be used to fund accounts in $10, 15, 20, 50, 75 or 100 options. A Redditor apparently was the first to come across the option. The news comes as such a shock that the initial reaction among many was that it was a "photoshop" job. It isn't a hoax however, as the payment option does in fact show up, at least for US residents. It is not known at this time if the option is available for international customers, but there were some redditors complaining that they could not find the option.
