That would be *Mobipocket* Creator, not Microsoft.

But yes, Mobi creator is one of the few tools that does a decent job of extracting good content out of the roach motel PDF format. Worth noting that in converting (mostly-text) PDFs to Mobipocket format (which Kindle reads natively) it also leaves behind a clean HTML version of the document.
Also, note that at installation time, Mobi Creator can be installed as the "home Edition" or the "publisher edition". The Publisher installation is the one that allows PDF input.
And, finally; as pointed out, Kindle natively reads DRM-free PDFs. But like all pdf readers, some PDFs can be suboptimal on a 6" screen. Hence, Mobi Creator.
