I would expect people to buy data centers and hardware by borrowing money. These loans should be denominated in British Pounds in Britain. So if anything, it seems like Microsoft should be getting a great deal since their debt is being inflated away. No reason not to raise the prices if the market will bear it, but I wonder if Brexit is actually a great help to their short-term profit margin?
