They are dynamic, branded, and supported by a ton of readers which ultimately gives the end user choice. We just wrote a cool blog post that compares Open Codes with Closed (Microsoft Tag) Codes. If it interests you please take a look http://bit.ly/3zvBdV Thanks, Erik Hi,

But, in this case (surprisingly!) I believe they are behind the times as far as getting to market on this bar coding technology. I'm pretty certain that a company called NeoMedia just rapped up the transport processes (via Patent protection) on how the bar coding is passed from hand held device to a third party server. With the exception of a color bar code like image which would be going against the "Industry standard", Microsoft would probably only gain acceptance from their consumer base and NOT industry carriers. However, I do like the use of a color coded image, it is not supported in about 80% of the market space. I think all of this news will shake out in the this years CTIA event beginning next week.

I had the same question about the need for color tags. What did I do? I actually tried printing one in black & white. Guess what? It worked. Flawlessly. So no, you don't have to print Microsoft's tags in color to have them work. Does anyone ever step back and think that maybe companies actually do think about the things they're doing and that they really are trying to do new things that solve real problems? As someone pointed out there are pros & cons to the approach of QR & MS tag. I do really like that MS tag has the ability (out of the box) to dynamically update the information "inside" a given tag.
