"Microsoft will reward $$$ to anyone who can explain it"??!??!?!?!

Where did you hear that? Check Technet, Q157373. It's a formatting test
feature. Been there for years.

Kinda reminds me of the Technet Q - "Blendolini causes Choco-milkshake to
hang in the kitchen", or the timeless perl of wisdom - "Network adapter will
not work if unplugged" (Q228001).
