I think you mean MicroShift, not Microsoft. But we know what you meant.
I don't think very many people will recommend grip shifters. The few times I've bought a used bike with those, they got removed and thrown away, whether they worked or not. Shimano Rapidfire always works well.
I had butterfly bars on several bikes for a while, but after the novelty wore off I switched back to either flat bars with bar ends (Ergon GP5) or drop bars. I felt like I didn't have as much control with the Butterfly bars, and found the brake lever position was awkward - too close together to maintain control under hard braking.
