Could they do it? Deactivate Windows licenses, block Cloud services, access to Office 365 and whatnot?

    Technically yes, but bypasses are easily and widely available for all non-cloud stuff. MS licenses are a joke for anyone already unconcerned about following the rules. MASgrave is your friend in that regard.

    Also, Microsoft fucked over the IRS to degree that they still haven’t recovered from when the IRS tried to get them to stop using tax loopholes more than a decade ago. They aren’t going to let the US government bully them. You have to remember that MS has the US government IT infrastructure by the balls, for better or worse.
