<center>In a fascinating turn of events, the Microsoft has fully restored Bitcoin payment functionality on their website. This was thanks in large part from the company which processes BTC payments for Microsoft, Bitpay.  Amidst all of the uncertainty and issues surrounding Bitcoin and its use as a point of sale currency, it appears at though Microsoft is not at all bearish on BTC, but rather, could no longer ignore issues in regards to payment delays, extreme volatility, network congestion and high fees.</center>
