No.

Microsoft Research does some really exciting stuff. Most of what they do is real hackers' material, the sort of stuff you'd expect from a guy in his mom's basement or Ph.D's theses.

They have some really interesting prototypes and proof-of-concept software out that can be downloaded from http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/

It's a shame that most of their research (stuff like Singularity and this IE-OS project) never see the light of day, but some of the stuff you can DL is really nifty... and rather unheard of.

The Singularity source code is available at http://www.codeplex.com/singularity

Don't be so sure that MSR stuff doesn't ever see the light of day... or hasn't already in one form or another...
