Microsoft makes half a dozen compilers, for as many languages:
https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell
The only one that I know of that is closed is C++.

PowerShell is a pile of slightly incompatible versions, you end up with code targeting the oldest version you need (often version 2 for Windows 7).

I stand corrected, thanks! I still have a sense that they are rather less proportionately open source than those other companies, but less so than before.
Really? For its size? It seems like Google, Apple, and Facebook are all much more productive in OSS. The only open source Microsoft product I'm aware of using is VS Code. To my understanding, they haven't open sourced Edge, their JS engine, their compiler, their word processors, or really anything else of note. I guess I can give them a little credit for .NET Core, but would that even have happened of Mono hadn't existed?
