The only problem I have though is that I have had multiple different sources say that either 5v to the VIN will work and the 5v to the VIN won't work.
On the official page for the Arduino Micro, it says under Power;
"The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than 7V, however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may be unstable. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts."
I'm just curious as to why some people say 5v while the website says 7v. I just don't want to screw up my board :~
