blah blah blah US only blah blah blah

Not really the spirit of bitcoin the payment method for everyone... knows no borders and all that bitcoin jazz

I was thinking the same thing, not living in the US.  However, then I read this:

BitPay: Microsoft Has Aggressive Global Vision for Bitcoin
http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-microsoft-aggressive-global-vision-bitcoin/

Sounds like this is really just the first step as part of a larger move by MS, and all they could manage to get in place before Christmas (and good for them that they did - they still made it happen quite quickly!)

Then get off your ass and make it common acceptance in your country... if you can't lead then follow

My guess is that Bitpay will have some type of Microsoft promo at the "Bitcoin Bowl"... this will be the coming out party for educating the public.

I assume they mean they won't be refunding in bitcoin, but the payments themselves would be refundable if the purchase was refundable, yes?

Also, not sure what they mean by brush $19 - what does that number mean?

Big news, before this kind of news would make the price jump because of they buy-to-dump strategy. BTC looks much more stable now.
