Isn't the fact its implemented by Microsoft's Danger division a clear enough warning?

<in a strong, authentic Borat accent>: You have lost all your personal information... NAT!

Microsoft probably released the first pessimistic statement to make this mini 'disaster' end up being positive news

Somebody pulled a rabbit out of a hat there !

...microsoft had already announced most of it was gone forever,
with little chance of recovery...

Seems they got lucky, and/ or some engineers deserve a big bonus...
