You're going to hold off the recruiters who conscientiously scan resumes and take such requests seriously at the expense of triggering automated scans for those keywords. I doubt if it's a net win.

Additionally, as someone who isn't a recruiter and doesn't work with any Microsoft products, this might actually come off as a bit of a red flag. The intention may be to stave off recruiters that blindly fire off job postings, but it comes off as egotistical.
