Actually, things Microsoft would most likely not even get into
non-free. Things in non-free must still be freely distributable, which
most Microsoft things are not.
So there is "free", "non-free", and "not-even-packaged-because-we-can't-
distribute-it".
Also, non-free is technically not a part of Debian -- it is only
maintained as a convenience to users. Putting something in non-free
basically means, "we can't put this into Debian proper because it
conflicts with our Social Contract, but we recognize that users may
still want to use it."
