It's "for-Mac" division is the Mac Business Unit, which is within the 
"Microsoft's Specialized Devices and Applications Group inside the 
Entertainment and Devices Division" (though I think they're moving or 
moved directly into the Office division) it is part of Microsoft, not 
some third party, and they are not shut down. The MacBU was formed 
specifically because of an agreement between Microsoft and Apple.

They are not ports, they are native for the Mac (hence functionality is 
sometimes either lacking or better compared to Windows versions) but all 
of them are Microsoft products, hence having that Microsoft logo and 
"Copyright Microsoft" all over in it.
