Here's the thing. When you devalue your currency, the cost of things from foreign suppliers tends to rise as a result.
If MS didn't allow us to buy in GBP, and instead only sold in USD, we'd still be spending more.
It's not just opportunism, it's a direct result of the devaluation of the pound, which has come about as the result of businesses having serious concerns about the UK's prospects post-brexit.
In my book, that's definitely something to dump at the feet of the leave crowd.
