I know at least that Microsoft claims that Microsoft Visual C++ was used to program Microsoft Visual Studio. I would guess they use C and C derivatives mostly, obviously asm is used in a few places (the operating system comes to mind), Visual Basic is probably used for UI-intensive stuff, but most of their programs have a very distinct C++ feel, as opposed to VB or Java. Also, Microsoft, as one of the largest software developers, no doubt has a whole retinue of proprietary products and possibly languages to assist in development.
