Microsoft Quietly Starts Accepting Bitcoin As Payment Method
An anonymous reader writes A new page in the help guide in the payment information of Microsoft's website reveals that the Redmond giant is now accepting Bitcoin as a payment method for products and services on Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox. Currently the payments must go through to credit a Microsoft Wallet account, and the service is initially only available to U.S. users. But the wording of the new page combines with an expansive year for Microsoft and a number of positive statements about Bitcoin from Bill Gates to indicate that this first step is more than just an experiment. Microsoft is now the largest commercial entity accepting the Bitcoin currency, which it processes via the BitPay system, thus protecting the company from fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin.

I am just waiting for more legitimate businesses to start dealing with bit coins.
I mean most of the sites that you go to get bit coins are kinda questionable.
And it seems you can only buy cheap poor quality stuff with bit coins.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
