Re: Microsoft to accept bitcoin

RE: "While the virtual currency can be used to put funds into Microsoft
accounts, it can’t be used to pay directly for other Microsoft products and
services other than the content we highlighted above at this time. ...There
is a cap on how much you can exchange per day: $1,000 (or its equivalent in
your country or region’s currency) to your Microsoft account on any given
day, and no more than $5,000 to additional Microsoft accounts that are
registered in your name or by you."

The reasons given for these constraints are what?
