Microsoft is a large company specializing in computer technology as well as internet informatics, they are giant companies that know how to grasp the times. If this is true news, the new direction of BTC will not stop developing. Maybe BTC is not used for their intended payment, but they can use the source code or some features of BTC to develop software according to the latest trend of the market today.
Already Microsoft or internet is decentralized, so extending it to cryptocurrency which is already a decentralized platform, it's a welcomed development, maybe the adoption of bitcoin for Microsoft will create another hands to internet, so our questions should be how are they going do about it, is that they will create or generate i chips of bitcoin for subscription or payment, that should be our major concerns.
