There are towns in Denmark getting heat from Google and Facebook datacenters so I don't see why it shouldn't work elsewhere. The way MS does it here the heat is 100% waste and should be taxed like other waste. Not to mention what about the noise? The sea is already noise polluted.
Here's a source (in Danish). Wind energy in -> 25 MW/h of heat out (to heat up 12.000 houses):
