Oh, yes, MS does accept bitcoin - as a payment option to charge your account there.

The next "crash" is overdue. I am waiting for it for 2 weeks now. I want to buy some cheap Bitcoins. But seriously, keeping or instantly selling Bitcoin is not as relevant, as you might think. Bitcoin users have now another method to spend Bitcoin, that is good news. It is really as simple as that.

Also, bear in mind that the US payment option is the BEGGINING. Almost every company that started to accept bitcoin did this way. Give them a few more months and it will be international! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

This is huge! How long till we have Skype accepting it as well?
for me the question is: when will they stop to accept BTC only in USA and start to accept in other parts of the world as well?

It's only a small start. Still, a bit faster than what I expected by a few months.
Things are heating up fast.

I know what you mean, but this is all I ever wanted from bitcoin. I use bitcoin as money so the ability to spend is the whole show. Most businesses are not going to hold bitcoins. They are not investment companies after all, they are looking for something to replace credit cards. That is important as it becomes impossible to protect users identity and money. It is a growing liability that they want to get away from. Best of all its cheaper than taking cards. The benefits to sellers are not discussed as much as users here. When I explain it to business leaders they are often unaware of the advantages over credit. There should be nothing unexpected about this news. Its logical.

How do you know this? Bitpay say half their merchants hold some of the payment as bitcoins. Are you on the inside?

Microsoft isn't accepting Bitcoin for Microsoft product or services. Their announcement says "You can’t use Bitcoin to purchase Microsoft products and services directly at this time." They're accepting it only for the low-value things you used to have to buy "Microsoft points" for - various in-app purchases, in-game items, and such. Stuff that doesn't cost Microsoft anything, basically.

But they will be impleting it soon, and they are also going to support bitcoin not only accept it. This is some great news!

Not directly at this time, but you can use Bitcoin now to add money to your Microsoft account, and then use your account to buy apps, games and other digital content from the Windows, Windows Phone, Xbox Games, Xbox Music and Xbox Video stores.

This is sweet ass news, here comes the spike!!!
One would think, but... Like, WTF! A year ago such news would've sent BTC through the roof, whereas today it barely moves the market.

More than 100 articles were published today in top news media about Microsoft accepting BTC. Check http://www.cryptoreading.com/?s=microsoft . This is huge, but BTC price does not care much:( Still longterm downtrend.

True, but it does show that bitcoin has utility enough to supplement 'MS points' for purchases within their framework. It should be a matter of time before higher end integration is implemented after they get their feet wet as it were.

No one is talking about what a major achievement this is for BitPay. I met and talked with Tony Gallippi at a conference in SF and I couldn't wish success on a nicer guy. BitPay deserves all the good things the world has to offer them. When the other "respected" members of the community were out making illegal IPOs to quickly line their pockets and destroy the reputation of Bitcoin, BitPay was busy working a long term goal of making Bitcoin a respected mainstream payment system. Hats off to BitPay for yet another incredible accomplishment.
