Just got an invite for a Debrief interview from Microsoft roughly two weeks after doing all the interview rounds.
Would you consider this positive, negative or neutral?
Is it always part of the hiring process?
What to expect?

Positive. Network, take the feedback and try again. They might even have you in mind for other roles within,and you'll skip the TA blackhole.

It sounds like they like you but just not for what you interviewed for?

Personally would prefer the debrief be an offer letter

like

Any debrief is a positive sign. Take the feedback no matter what the outcome. Like the others have said it’s either for a different role or because they see signs that are promising. If it’s for an offer, then it’s a ‘you’re good but here’s somethings to make you greater, consider it for when you join us’ or if it’s not then it’s a ‘you’re good but here’s a few things we saw in the process that could help you further along the line’.
I’ve learned that all feedback is good feedback at the end of the day
