Microsoft Tag adds support for QR codes and NFC, seeks barcode dominance

Last year, Microsoft Tag shed its beta skin and stepped out into the wild world of multi-colored barcodes.

The update effectively allows businesses and individuals to create their own proprietary Tags or QR codes, while enabling consumers to scan said codes with their Microsoft Tag apps, or NFC-enabled smartphones.
