Re: Ireland
It could also come back to bite them
From the article "Microsoft Ireland is the entity through which the company grants licenses in the UK and EEA."
The UK could theoretically impose import taxes on those "goods" coming from the EU since they are a "third country" from our perspective. Just as the EU like to keep reminding the UK :-) I wonder how long it would take MS to suddenly allocate MSUK as the source of MS licenses to UK customers?
(No, I wasn't in favour of Brexit, but it's something we all have to make the best of nowadays)
