Were they in violation of GPL with anything? I can't find credible reference.

I know that they identified the USB/DVD tool and re-released it under GPL.

No, as far as I know they fulfilled all GPL obligations on the SFU stuff. And I know of no cases of Microsoft violating the GPL (and I would have heard if there were). Not wanting GPL is entirely "won't" rather than "can't".
