UUID in final version?
This is a discussion about UUID in final version? in the Windows Software category; So I heard that MS put a unique ID in the final RTM build of Windows XP. Now my question is: Why would you put a unique id in a CD that is mass-copied? isn't that what the RTM copy is? I'm quite confused.

they put the UUID into the ISOs the beta testers get so that they can track where the leaked builds come from.
OP
so they didn't put it in the final retail version then right? Like the final build 2600?

the final eval copies released to beta testers have them i believe. If you are paranoid about it just copy the files to your HD and remake the CD. That way there is no UUID on the CD.
