    That much we know, but it's not present on the machine I'm sitting at, and gets zero google results, so I (and probably others) have no way of knowing what it's for.

            what a waste of a guid, you are aware that we are running out of them? and here you are wasting the few we have left, you should be ashamed

            You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                              Shouldn't it be enough if they're globally unique? (Unless of course, we learn about aliens who use them)

                                Quite. A thought it was a good joke, although I see you have been reported for it. Reporting is replacing downvoting more and more, and very rarely is what gets reported either abuse or spam.

                                  It is not unique. It has a high probability of not already being used somewhere.

                                          I think you may be missing a few factors in your equation. i.e. some GUIDs are somewhat more ubiquitous than others.
