MS Exchange “remote wipe” is a terrible, terrible bug

Can someone confirm that the remote wipe actually works as described on each mobile OS? And that it can be done through a Google domain just by using their sync feature with a company account?

This is remote wipe as used by Microsoft Activesync and mobile OS's which support Activesync (Windows Mobile, iOS and Nokia with third party extensions). What do Google domains have to do with it?

Google for Domains uses Activesync to do push email.

just had some fun with the phone of a coworker of mine (of course after warning him and making sure that he won't lose data).

His iPhone was connected to our Google Apps account and with one click I managed to wipe his phone (it rebooted and came up with the "connect me to iTunes to activate me" screen).
