No microwave I've seen has ever actually varied the wattage. It just essentially does pulse width modulation, so 60% power might be on (at full power) for 6 seconds and off for 4 seconds. It averages out to the desired power, but it's not exactly the same as what it kind of implies.
I see, thank you for the explanation! I thought I was just stupid at microwaves.
