Microsoft supports Bitcoin XT! 
That is an interesting picture it does makes sense that the developers run nodes for fun over there.
Always a good idea to observe where the smart money is headed.
it's an even better idea to move in the exact opposite direction from what people like you say
of course MS "supports" XT, where do you think this XT idea came from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish
If MS did get serious in the embracing stage of Bitcoin the economic potential of a client on every MS computer as a default app or skin to pay for services would add signifcant leverage to the XT implementation, plus nodes would by default join XT a sort of a join the borg mentality, and break a stalemate.
But that's super speculation
