I haven't worked with them in over 10 years but when I did MS was extremely progressive and leadership saw advanced technology as their way to be competitive against similar firms and as a result had a gigantic technology budget. They were quite progressive in a lot of ways and were a huge investor in distributed Linux setups over traditional mainframes for a lot of things internally.
