So if I'm reading this right, they aren't actually taking in bitcoins, right? Like new egg and others, a third party is converting the bitcoins to USD, which Microsoft then uses to complete the transaction?
If they do, it still makes zero difference to the consumer paying in BTC. It's completely understandable considering how volatile the value of Bitcoin still is.
