Yes.
According to definition (http://opensource.org/docs/osd section 2), source code does not have to be distributed, but it does have to be available. The source code is readily available via the web.

Why is this licence considered open source, seeing as it is apparently not mandatory to distribute the sources under these terms?
(This is a question, not a criticism, I am not just anti-microsoft)
