Dog food their own software and systems more, and where it's unpleasant to use - improve them.
I actually wonder if, at the MS scale, that can start to be an impediment between the developers living inside the large MS sphere of software and their understanding of what it is like for average users who don't live entirely inside that sphere.
I mean, isn't one of the complaints that they don't make their tools interoperate and play nice with non-MS software enough... don't use open standards and formats enough? Well, from their perspective that would make sense; they are dog fooding inside an all MS zone. Inside that zone, interoperation is shifted down in priority from where outsiders would put it.
