In this case, no.

Given that a lot of AV technical work is reverse engineering and that 
most of the best AV reversers are not among those MS "acquired" from 
RAV or who have joined MS from other AV developers subsequently (not 
that they haven't got some very good reversers, just there are still an 
awful ot of them elsewhere), I doubt even MS is stupid enough to 
consider trying something like this.
