Looks like the person who designed the linked web page hasn't needed to reinstall Linux since '95 because the page looks as though it were put together in '95.
I've tried a few of the flavors of Linux over the years, mainly for music recording. Trouble was that several of the Linux installs didn't support the hardware I was using. And the cobbled together driver hacks didn't work all that well or wouldn't allow me to use all of the channels available on my audio card.
I've never had that problem with Windows. Not that it has always been smooth sailing but I have been able to get it up and running.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

My view is different tools for different jobs....
Windows office tasks (Word, Excel, Access), Linux controlling things (Android etc (Windows Real Time Kernel, come on!)), Apple art & music, No one system has overall control on one thing you can do nearly everything as well on all platforms but certain things are easier on one rather than the other. My view (wrong usually but...)

At this point what I'll give linux is the ability to tune your installation exactly as you need it, with a level of granularity Microsoft simply can't give you. You can include/exclude features and options to your hearts content.
But the slashdot religious perspective is just laughable at this point.
I find development easier on Linux just because I've been a unix guy for the last 25 years or so. But my primary machine is Win8, because sometimes I just want to use something without having to screw with it endlessly.

Correct because it isn't true.

Its a guid. Or else a unique id of a class or interface which can be used though COM.

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.

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[^].

We have an OTD for everything, why not GUID?

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.

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.
