Used to be the Microsoft Systems Journal, which morphed into MSDN Magazine. But it shut down last year.

I guess there is so much content “free” that it’s difficult to compete.

MSDN Magazine was no where near LWN, at least not for its last few years of existence. It was very high level with almost no technical insight. I only remember seeing not very helpful or in depth tutorials and a rant or two by people who seemed fairly uninformed in each issue.
