On the Monopoly Online Board

Microsoft is one of the two most prestigious properties on the entire board. Combined with its sister property, it commands the highest rents in the game. Even unimproved, a 科技 hit is painful — fully built, it is potentially game-ending.

Microsoft is at board position 39. Players reach it by landing on the corresponding square after rolling the dice from any earlier position, or by drawing a Chance card that advances them directly to a property.
