That is not correct.
The copyright holder can give the code to Microsoft and say, "Here, use
this in the next version of Windows any way you like." Microsoft will
*not* be under the obligations of the GPL.
However, if Microsoft takes the GPL-licensed version of the software
and incorporates it into Windows, then they *would* have to comply with
the terms of the GPL.
