What would be the benefit to Microsoft for lowing their prices purely on an exchange rate fluctuation?

What would be the benefit for them lowering their prices ever? It's not like they're going to get more customers that way, or have fewer customers with higher prices. People use MS products pretty much independent of cost. They could raise their OS prices to 10x the current costs and no one's going to switch.
