This has been a potential problem ever since online registration started up 15 years or so ago, but it's never been much of a problem. There just is not enough reason to do it beyond revenge. Besides, a company like MS is going to have all that stuff backed up in a way to make it easy to restore appropriate functionality.
I'm not defending Microsoft. As I've said elsewhere, I think their business model is coming to its economic end of life. But registration security is something their system covers reasonably well.
