Universities can get Windows source code under NDA and do research on it but nobody really cares about such work.

"Getting windows source code under NDA" doesn't necessarily mean "can do research on it".

If you can't publish it, it's not research. If the source code is under NDA, then Microsoft gets the final say about whether you can publish or not, and if the result is embarrassing to Microsoft, I'm guessing it's "or not".
