let me get this straight. Assuming a dupe GUIDs causes a fatal error, and assuming the average computer generates and stores some 1000 GUIDs in the course of its lifetime... one in 530 nonillion computers will just randomly crash? No matter how astronomically improbable, this is clearly not the Right Way. -- froth t 15:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
GUID is a subset or synonym of UUID and there's redundant information across the two articles. Ant ( talk) 15:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I think this should be changed from 'ranging from guaranteed uniqueness to likely duplicates' to 'ranging from likely uniqueness to likely duplicates'. A GUID cannot be guaranteed uniqueness no matter how small the chance is. If you put limits within the domain that a GUID is used, then of course you can, but if a GUID is to be truely globally unique, no matter the generator or domain, there will always be a possibility of a duplicate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.240.194.132 ( talk)
This article should be merged with UUID. That was discussed above a few years ago, and it seemed to the consensus view (though not unanimous). But it didn't happen. 73.253.110.94 ( talk) 02:07, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
