MS does not. It has half of what you want. Distros may not bundle them
with the core OS but that's partly because you have *choices*. Even so,
most distros do have some sort of SCM out of the box, and I've abused SCMs
for config management in the past as well.

See the above. I don't think that what MS does have is remotely compelling
enough. Especially since it's broken just where true config management
systems shine. Config management isn't just about pushing configs, it's
about history and auditing capabilities.
