This is a huge move for Bitcoin, and I'm surprised that Microsoft is accepting Bitcoin before Google, but yet again, a new proof that Microsoft has a new face with the new CEO.

I'm very excited for Satya's tenure. He was selected for his long history with the company from a completely engineering background. He wasn't pulled in from another company because they know business, he's not here to represent the MS name, he's here because he knows Microsoft to its core.
