well... the microwave works by "shaking" the water molecules. as heat is simply the movement of the molecules, as more they shake, more hot the thing is. BUT, water evaporates at 100oC. after all the water evaporates, there is nothing left for the microwaves "shake" (as it only shakes the water molecules), so the microwave simply can not reach temperatures much higher than it.
