Why will that help deployment?
The latest surveys state that MS SMTP servers have less than 10%

I'd say having sendmail + qmail + postfix + exim will help more than
having MS on board for whatever solution.
I was asked if I could provide some URLs:
Here are links to some recent surveys:

Numbers differ in detail but the overall figures are the same.
What is also important is the number of users served by the the
different MTAs and I know from scratch of no large provider using
MS SMTP server, but I may be wrong.
