Microsoft developers and support people tend to find the "right" tools to accomplish any job. It is not common for individuals to use "third-party" tools to achieve their goals even if they are from questionable sources.
I recall that the MS Office support teams even resorted to OpenOffice.org to recover corrupt MS Word and MS Excel files when internal tools failed.
