I thought the same thing.

APC Magazine has confirmed from its sources close to Microsoft that the entire operating system and all the user data on the handset were remotely erased from the phone as soon as the theft was reported.

I call BS on remotely wiping out the OS. Maybe a remote hard reset and lock but the OS should still be there

Yea, the article is fud. If you join the phone to an exchange server and you have the lockdown policy in effect then if the phone is stolen there area couple of options. Option A. The moron who stole it will attempt to guess the unlock code, fail and wipe the device. Two you can push out a remote wipe in which it will wipe the data by forcing a hard reset. There is no such thing as wiping the OS that is in rom.

That is right, I had to remotely swap my device in the past and all it does it make it hard reset assuming the thief left the data on. We will never know.
