Microsoft no longer solely counts on Windows 10 to pay the bills. With CEO Satya Nadella at the helm, it’s also betting heavily on cloud services, and just revealed an interesting new one: Bitcoin-style encryption. Redmond joined forces with startup ConsenSys on a platform called Ethereum to help business to play around with the blockchain tech used in crypto-currency.
