What standards are used by Microsoft for developing Windows Server and other products

Question

Where can I obtain or solicit information regarding Microsoft software development process compliance with national/international standards? I need to create regulatory documentation, and knowing which ISO, IEC, ANSI, etc. standards that Microsoft uses to
develop specific applications (including but not limited to Windows Server 2012 Standard) would be most useful.
My efforts to obtain this information (live chat, calls to different support numbers and tweeting) have been fruitless.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As to the 'broken' link.  The editor in the forums has a nasty habit.  If one concludes a sentence with an URL and puts a period after the URL to designate the end of the sentence, the forum editor includes the period as part of the URL. 
Delete the period and the link will work.
What do you mean by 'standards' for software development?  If you mean something like ISO/IEC 12207, I think you are going to have to search Microsoft web sites and then see if you can strike up a conversation with authors of articles you find. 
I am not aware of any specific publication of conformance to such standards within Microsoft.  Even though I worked for them for 12 years in a non-engineering role, I tended to take an interest in this sort of thing based on interests developed in previous
roles.
Here is a link (http://www.microsoft.com/security/sdl/resources/publications.aspx) and here (http://www.microsoft.com/security/sdl/default.aspx) that
covers their Secure Development Lifecycle.  To a great extent, Microsoft 'wrote the book' on how to do secure development (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-security-development-lifecycle-michael-howard/1110830298?ean=9780735622142). 
It may appear dated, as it was published about eight years ago, but it became the textbook for some college courses on secure development.
