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.

Its a guid. Or else a unique id of a class or interface which can be used though COM.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Hey, that's MY Guid! :mad:

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.

And the probability of having one would be about 50% if every person on earth owns 600 million GUIDs. :rolleyes:

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

Certainly. But that's a probability, which is always calculated based on some assumptions. And that figure was taken from Wikipedia - Globally unique identifier[^]. :)

Shouldn't it be enough if they're globally unique? (Unless of course, we learn about aliens who use them)
I read an actual discussion about this very thing elsewhere, believe it or not, which is what prompted my reply. Not guaranteed unique is always true both GUIDs and UUIDs BTW, though the chances of generating the same two IDs are vanishingly small for truly random sets. The UUID I supplied, is the same as the OP, meaning neither my nor his UID are unique, negating them as either Universally or Globally unique IDs.

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.

No sweat ... By the time we get close to running out, we will have come up with GUIDv6.

I have always wondered how they tell when we have run out? do we get a big error message stating "sys error" no more GUIDs available (probably with a sound clip going "na na na")
