this is my (working) apt.conf line:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.my-company.com:8080";;

so you probably have to write

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://luscombes:<password>@msproxy:80";

check if you can configure your linux browser to use the ms proxy; if
you can't, apt won't probably work either.

hope this helps.
