The specific answer: read the license that came with the font.
General answer: Yes, you can. Nearly all licensed typefaces allow for you to use them in any artwork you want to create--including logos. As you own a license to the type that comes with MicroSoft software--assuming you paid for the software, then yes, you can use it.
There are some exceptions, however. For example, House Industries requires you to purchase a separate license for logo use if your company takes in more than 5 million in gross revenue a year: http://www.houseind.com/fonts/licensing/pricing

I would probably say you can't but I dont know what the licence says for the font. Check the manufacturer's website.

Depends on what the licence says. You may find your answer if you visit Microsoft typography.
