So it doesn't have any coin or token attached to it like Ripple, how does that work? From what I read it's centralized, so I don't have that much interest, not that it's a bad word or anything.

It it's centralized IBM or Microsoft could stop supporting it if it became uneconomical. They will only keep up development if they are making money from it. If it's like vista then I don't trust it. Just because it's from microsoft doesn't mean it's any good, I'd rather trust in Bitcoin.

Yeah I don't think this is really interesting for us bitcoiners, but many of these platforms and systems will be implemented soon by many companies around the world. I think Bitcoin strong point is just being a commodity and a secure way to store wealth in these troubled times, it has proven its worth over time but only in this facet. I don't think it will ever become a viable payment system for everyday life though.
