Yep
I called MS France to check if the warranty for the Surface Pro was international like most of the competitor products, but they confirmed that this is not the case! For any repair/exchange, a Surface Pro bought in US or Canada has to be shipped back to a US or Canada address! That's weird for a big company like MS...
So never move if you own a MS product! ;-)
Also, a Surface Pro acquired in US or Canada is covered by a 1 year warranty vs. 2 years in France (probably Europe).
Hope this helps
