Its ICANN registry agreement was signed on Dec 18, 2014, 174 days before launch. .microsoft is a brand TLD: under Specification 13 of its ICANN agreement, only Microsoft Corporation and its affiliates can register names in it. That is why its domain count stays small and mostly reflects the company's own sites.
