Microsoft accepts bitcoin for app+game purchases - GoFuckYourself.com

Now you can exchange bitcoins to buy apps, games and more for Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox - The Fire Hose

"Starting Thursday in the U.S., by using BitPay, the world?s leading bitcoin payment processor, you can trade-in bitcoin ? at current market value ? and add it to your Microsoft account. Those funds can then be used to purchase content in the Windows Store, or in stores that house Xbox Games, Xbox Music or Xbox Video."

Nice bump for BitPay & digital currencies

You could have exchanged your bitcoins into dollars at bitpay and use it anywhere (including windows store) even before this announcement. The only difference - more convenient integration. But technically they are still accepting dollars and not bitcoins.
