Most of the rises have been to balance the Euro and Sterling. Microsoft claim that the grey import market did not exist but with free trade in Europe it is hard to see why somebody working in Euro's would not take advantage of such a discount.
All these fluctuations in currency take a while to impact the companies in sales. For example the Dollar and Euro have weakened considerably over the last six months. At its peak the Euro was almost 1 to the pound and the Dollar has dropped back some 30c. Most of the currency was lost in a period between November and May since that time the Pound has been recovering.
