MSVC in C mode is essentially C89 plus extensions needed to compile C++/C99-isms present in Windows SDK and DDK headers. And Microsoft seems to be mostly interested in whether the compiler is able to build NT kernel and drivers and nothing much else.

That's not true for quite some time. Visual Studio 2013 added many C99 features that aren't in C++ like compound literals or designated initializers.
