Bitcoin just got a big boost in stature as Microsoft is now accepting the cryptocurrency for digital content from its stores



From Engadget:

Microsoft now joins other tech players like Dell, which has gone all-in on Bitcoin and accepts it for most products on services. PayPal has a deal with Coinbase to help online stores accept Bitcoins, though you still can't add them to your digital wallet. So far Amazon, the 800-pound gorilla of the e-commerce world, has strongly resisted the digital currency, however.
