"We use the GUIDs to tally the number of individual machines without identifying the user"
They're identifying the domain, the language, the machine.. If they're not identifying the user they're certainly recording everything but. And if they communicated the information to say a university or company, that institution could easily identify the user. So it's really just spin control. Nobody truly buys this crap.
