Large pieces of sw have been able to switch some plateform specific code to other compilers (chrome for windows comes to mind).

This is probably way smaller than the whole Windows, but I would not be surprised if some MS dev are already internally compiling some of their components with clang for their own dev/testing (even if just for extra warnings, etc.)

And a major part of the work of the MSVC team today seems to be about standard compliance.

But yes, I do not really expect that they switch, and actually they probably don't even have the beginning of a serious reason to do so. This is not even a case of NIH. Their compiler derives from an ancient codebase and has been continuously maintained for several decades. They "invented" it. The only modern serious competition (that cares enough about Windows compat and some of their specific techs) has been started way after... They probably also have all kind of patents and whatnot about some security mitigations that are implemented by collaboration between the generated code and (the most modern versions of) low level parts of the Windows platform.
